Our First Shot

Well the day is finally here! I was so excited all day just knowing that today was our first shot and the beginning of our journey to baby hansley. I was also extremely nervous and it was probably the only thing that I have thought of today. We were in Ohio at a wedding all weekend with Jared's family, and we had such a great time. Maybe a little too much fun and it didn't involve any alcohol for me. It was so nice to be away for the weekend so I didn't have to think about the shots. Today I had a test for one of my college classes at 5:00 and then it was off to get my shot at 6:45. Some very good friends of my family went through this so we went to their house for some moral support. I did pretty good preparing the shot, and then I pricked my stomach three times and made it bleed before I actually gave it to myself. It didn't hurt of course, but I kept chickening out. I'm so glad that first one is done. I called my mom as soon as I was done and I think that she was relieved that everything was ok. Jared and my mom have been my rock through this and I am so happy to have them in my lives. So I am feeling ok from the shot so far, just some itchy skin around the site. I feel a sigh of relief because we are on our journey. Our first doctors appointment is the 12th of October to see if everything is ready for the stimulating shots. Until then we are to take 20 units of the Lupron each night at 6:45. Now that we have finally started I hope that I can post more often.
