I test my blood sugar 4x a day. I have to give myself shots 2x a day. I hate needles. I used to have to give myself shots in my stomach. Now I have to do it in my legs. Did I mention I hate needles?
It is nothing short of amazing what we will do for our babies. I have turned myself into a human pin cushion for this one. And I'd do it all again (and probably will in another year or two).
I used to think that people who knew me would never suspect I could do these things. Now I realize that people who really know me, knew I'd make the sacrifice for the baby.
And maybe it's not so amazing that I would be able to withstand needles. I am a mosquito's favorite treat and have learned how not to scratch the bites. I camped in tents with my family and had no problem peeing in the woods (and I know which leaves are poison ivy). I guess I'm a little tougher than I expected. We'll see if birthing this baby proves it.
