One shot down, lots to go!

I think I know what my halloween costume will be this year - a human pincushion - haha.

I was so nervous last night, didn’t go to sleep until after 1, and tossed and turned the little bit I was able to sleep. I finally woke up at 6:15 with my stomach in knots. I wasn’t expecting to be quite so nervous! We’ve done shots before, so it’s not really anything new. It was just that it signified the start of this. Also, the most we ever did shots was for about 10 days, and usually just once a day. Now I’m going to be doing at least 2 shots/day for about 3 ½ weeks and then 1 shot/day for at least another 2 ½ weeks after that. That's daunting to think about. I need to just look at this as one day at a time.

Anyways, I was originally planning on giving the shot to myself this morning (these are tiny needles and they go in my stomach) but I was such a ball of nerves that I had Jason do it. I did pinch my skin together for him (luckily there is plenty of fat to grab in my stomach!) Maybe tonight I’ll do it myself, which will be such a huge accomplishment for me. These don’t hurt at all, although it did leave a little mosquito bite looking area.

I’m just so happy to have the first one over with!
