A little relief - Day 2 - July 11

It's not surprising that  I needed a little relief after the stress of day 1.

To start the day out, Brian let me sleep in!  Ah!  So relaxing.

Once we were up and going, Brian mowed the lawn and I worked on homework.  I was able to finish my last Statistics Exam!  Yes!!  The only schoolwork I have left before we leave is my Statistics project which is about 80% done and I'm just waiting on some data to finish that up.  Once its turned in, I will be officially 2/3 done with my Specialists degree!  By this time next year I'll have my 3rd degree in one hand and hopefully a baby in the other!

The rest of the afternoon was pretty laid back, we cleaned a bit, watched some TV, fixed the bed frame and then I took a nap!  Sleep is one thing that seems to be evading me lately.  It's probably all the stress and anxiety but I don't stop naps when I finally feel like I can get some sleep.  A little nap goes a long way.

Brian's parents came over for dinner and we played Blockus.  I'm normally pretty good at the game, but the first round was awesome!  I played all my tiles!!! That's never happened before!! See, everyone else has tiles left and all the red ones are gone!!!! Yeah buddy.


 At 8pm, I did my first injection of follitism!  Ruth told me to pick a time that is later in the evening so that we could have the scans/bloodwork back and make decisions before it was time for the injection.  So we chose 8.  I thought I would have Brian do it but when it came time, I felt like it would be easier if I just did it and had the control.  So I watched the instructional video, loaded the meds into the pen and bam!  First injection done!


The minion bandaids provided by Cassie really do help :)  I didn't have terrible side effects.  I did have some pain after the injection and some cramping after, but nothing too bad.  About an hour later I got a headache but I don't know if that was medicine induced or if it was just a normal headache.  No awful symptoms, so that was great news!

Once our visit with Brian's parents was over, then we stayed up (probably too late) and watched a few episodes of The Walking Dead.  Nothing like some good ole zombie action before bedtime. 

Its was a great Day 2.  Much more relaxing and less stressful than Day 1.  Thank goodness!
