I have survived my first few days of shots. It really has not been bad. The worst part is remembering which ones to take when. I am back home after a weekend away with some awesome ladies. I attended a women of faith conference in Duluth. Unfortunately I got sick on Thursday, so I didn’t go to all the sessions, but it made having a cold away from home bearable. Being with thousands of other women praising, worshiping and singing for God is such an encouraging experience. It makes me realize how blessed I am to have such wonderful ladies in my life that are full of faith in Jesus and show me his love on a daily basis. I left for the trip on Thursday night with Mama. We got there late because I was so nervous about starting my shots and traveling with everything and I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget anything. Friday night I was feeling awful and trying to hurry up and do my shots so I could get back to the conference, and I ended up giving myself a shot I didn’t need. I called the emergency line and the nurse called me back and assured me I had not destroyed my chances of getting pregnant, because of course that’s the first thing that came to mind. After speaking with the nurse I got upset and was feeling stupid more than anything, but thank goodness for Mama’s hugs and words of encouragement. It doesn’t matter how old you are a hug from Mama or Daddy will always make things better, and I got both this weekend so I am feeling much better! Nate was out of town all weekend too, so he has completely gotten out of giving me any shots, again I can see God’s hand in that as well! I have been able to do them myself with no problem, and haven’t had any side effects, so keep those prayers coming! I will have to go to the doctor pretty much every day this week to get blood work done. We could be headed to Atlanta on Friday to meet with the doctor and possible egg retrieval Sunday or Monday. Please continue to pray that my body responds to the hormones like it should. My doctor did mention my estrogen was low on my last blood work, so hopefully that will have improved tomorrow. Thanks again for keeping us in your prayers!!
