Pain in my @#!

I am soooooooooo tired of getting my progesterone shot each night. These shots are often referred to as PIO shots which stands for progesterone in oil. Long story short they are more difficult to do as they are much thicker than a normal water based injection. I have done these every night for the past 2 weeks and if we find out we are pregnant we will have to continue them until I am 8-9 weeks along. AAAHHHHH! 


And one more just in case you can't see how BIG this needle is...


And...pretend you don't see my love handles and just take a look at the bruises on my backside. Imagine what they will look like if we have to do these for another 5-6 weeks?!?


I am a bit irritated tonight because these are just not fun! However, I would do them for 9 months if that is what it would take. Today our pastor wrapped up his message with a few thoughts that hit home for Shaun and I....
Just because things are not fun and don't run smoothly does not mean God is not in the midst. Don't get caught up in the set-backs and losses (and shots in the rear), but instead focus on growing your faith and finding God in every step of the way. 

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

3 days to go!
