Hi Everyone,

Juniper, Kaybee, Leabie and everyone else who were reassuring about my sudden anxiety re my daughter - thanks. We had a nice day today - doing garage shopping, catching up briefly with a friend and having lunch out (very rare for us - just one main meal of chinese shared between us).

I still lent my housemate my car since her's really isn't safe and she is doing so much driving today (I'm fortunate that I am in the position to do this as I now have 2 working cars - my good car and my old one which wasn't worth trading in when I bought my new one because they were going to give me so little for it so I have decided to keep it as it is a good towing vehicle (and I have horses and a horse float) and my new car can't tow). So I lent my housemate my old car (which is still better than her car - only 14 years old instead of 20 years old). I did have to get a new starter motor for the old car yesterday which cost me another $500 but hopefully now it won't cost anything for a while.

Anyway this woman is the one giving me my nightly injections at the moment but she won't be home till 1am tomorrow morning so I need to do it myself tonight. I've got out of practice so am a bit anxious about doing it correctly and not hurting myself again!

Friends from Melbourne are calling in for a visit tomorrow which will be nice. They were one of the first I told about being pregnant (via a text message) and it will be the first time we have seen each other since the news.

Hope everyone else is going well. Sorry to hear about the GD Jaki. My housemate is a diabetic and has regular insulin shots. She was a great comfort to me when I first started on the drugs for IVF since the neddles are similar (I'm a bit phobic of needles but she reassured me). Now she gives me the progesterone injections each night but she told me even after 10 years of insulin shots she finds these needles difficult since the liquid is so thick and the needle so long and she hates that I always flinch (just a little bit) when she does it. I hope that even if you do end up needing insulin shots it all works itself out after the bub is born and you don't have to worry about it long term.
