So my husband was gone for shot #1, we are off to a good start. He and my dad made a trip to Little Rock to pick up our new leather sectional; since my husband has visited the “exclusive leather couch room” so often at my RE’s office he has become quite accustomed to the look of leather. Thank goodness my second mom (thank you Sue!) who is a nurse practitioner just happens to live within a 20 minute drive from my house. So my mom, Sue, Sue’s daughter Hannah and I went to dinner and then back to Sue’s home for bum shot #1. It reminded me of Sex and the City; four friends having dinner and enjoying each other’s company (minus the Manolos).
The shot went well. The room was silent as the four of us crowded around Sue and my somewhat exposed back side as I sprawled across the bed. The needle went in smoothly and the really only painful part was the medicine. It took around 20 seconds for all of the medicine to disperse within my scared to death skin. Halfway through my muscle began to fight back and that is when the pain began. There was little bleeding and soreness at the time but today…look out, it is SORE. I figured out the pain is worse when I step with my right leg (shot was in the right hip) so if I can somehow walk without taking a right step things will be great. Tonight we will head back to Sue’s where my husband will be observing and gearing up for his first injection tomorrow night….bring on the left hip!
I think today is the day when I will have to start making some day to day changes since I am officially harvesting little eggies! First of all, I have got to stop my fur babies from lounging and sometimes walking across my stomach. Secondly, I have to stop letting my laptop creep up my tummy as I sit and search eBay for Coach Handbags (I know I am beginning to think I might have a little handbag problem as well). Lastly, I am sure within a few days my belly will enlarge with hopefully many eggs and none of my clothes will fit so I will change my wardrobe to lots of elastic (ugghhh, so not Sex and the City).
So in closing everyone pray pray pray that Karlis has an empty bladder and hits one of the crop circles dead on, all the while missing bones and capillaries. I have faith, he can do it.
