We've got this!

     The support from my "village" has been more than anyone could ever imagine! I went to my first appointment this week, which was a class to teach me to give myself the injections and a tour of the Louisville Reproductive Center. I should have known I was going to have to prove myself before I left but it was a surprise to me that after watching and learning I had to give myself an injection before I could leave. It seemed scary but really, the needle is tiny and I only cried a little teardrop of RELIEF when I had conquered that shot! My nurse was a dear and she was sure right when she said, "Don't you feel better now that you know you can do it by yourself?" YES. YES. YES. I've got this.
     The medications and procedures were explained. My calendar was assigned and color coded, my program is planned. I'm just so excited to have this new plan!!! I've got this.  

     I went ahead and told my school family my story and struggle, if they hadn't seen it on Facebook yet. It came as somewhat of a warning.... like be prepared if I act like a crazy person. All I can say is-lucky me. The reaction was like a great big hug. Orders of bracelets and t-shirts came flying my way! Also, my tutoring schedule has been FILLED.  Everyone has my back and everyone has offered to help and support me and Matt on this adventure. My friends offered stories of support, words of encouragement and offers of help at school.  One friend let me know that I will feel crazy when I start injections and that it's okay because I will be crazy. Another friend comforted me with "everyone that is pregnant gets overly emotional!" I even had a student's parent offer to bring me drinks and treats! My school family is the best, absolutely the best. I cannot wait to introduce a baby to this world of love and support that I live in. (Awww, a baby gator! 🐊)
 

    My next appointment is the day after Thanksgiving and that will be the day I start my shots. Keep my in your thoughts and wish me well! I've got this, right? :)
