Last night I did the first shot of Lurpon - actually Dan had to do it. I have never been great at injecting myself..... The needle is very small so I think I can handle it from here on out. Nikki helps by putting the band-aid on after the shot is done. This is truly I family affair! I realize this morning that I don't even know what the Lupron is for - so I call the nurses for what seems like the 100th time. (Honestly - these ladies must also have degrees in counseling - because that is a huge part of what they have been for me.) So the Lupron is doing a couple of things: It is preventing me from ovulating even though I am on birth control pills. Being on Lupron also allows me to "adjust" my cycle to coordinate with the donor's depending on how she reacts to the meds. The goal for me is to take the hormones that build up the lining in the uterus. I also ask her about the nausea I have been experiencing. It can be a result of many things. Theresa tells me to be sure to relax by doing whatever it takes - yoga, walking, whatever.
Nikki lost the first of her 2 front teeth last night. Her reactions surprise me - she gets a little upset about it instead of being excited. She did not want to talk about it til it was bed-time - then found it ok to put it out for the tooth fairy. Well - the tooth fairy overslept and when she came up the stairs Nikki was awake. Darn these old houses with their creaking floors! Well - the tooth fairy was creative - giving Nik a big hug while frantically scanning her arm under the pillow to place the cash and remove the tooth box. We did it!
I am getting the house ready for the realtor to take pictures of it for our listing. This house has never looked so good! I feel good about our chances of selling this year.
