I’m sitting on my heating pad. I finally gave myself my own POI (progesterone shot). It is kind of funny because I have been so terrified to do it and oddly enough it didn’t hurt at all. True to fashion I made a mountain out of a mole hill. I took a deep breath with a dart like motion stabbed my right cheek, well kind of, and then pulled it out. What??!! Really??!! So because I pulled it out I had to stab it all over again. Pushing down the plunger is kind of hard when you are reaching behind but I did it!
Between being sick with this killer cold, Phil being away on business and the new puppy, I am completely exhausted. The puppy whom by the said was around a year old has got to only be about 10 months, she is a true puppy through and through. Chewing on everything in site and she is not potty trained or leash trained. She does however sit!! Why we thought getting a new dog on top of doing IVF, being pregnant and Phil beginning is Interferon, was a good idea is beyond me! Think things through?? Why in the world would we do that?
So I have been managing eating really well. I’m adding more fruits and veggies by starting my day with a green juice! Yummo, and then having an omelet with cheddar, peppers and mushrooms with two slices of whole wheat bread. Then I am making sure to have at least 2 more fruits and veggies during the day, with an additional dairy (yogurt, cheese or glass of milk). I have almost eliminated all caffeine, except for my small cup in the morning. I have been trying to have a salad with dinner, and some sweet potatoes and broccoli. My baby (babies?) is what I eat, so I better eat well. I am also making sure that I am taking in enough water as this is essential for growth! Now if I can just find time to get my exercise back into my life! This is super important. Tomorrow I will start walking after work. It has just been so difficult because my health has had one obstacle after another.
More blood work Friday and Oct 31st cannot come fast enough! I want to see that little itty bitty baby (babies).
