I salute you Bert

I didn't think I'd have any trouble giving myself injections. But when the moment came this morning, I chickened out. Steve gave me my subcutaneous injection (in my belly) and it didn't hurt a bit. I have no problems giving injections, and no problems with other people giving them to me, but I could bring myself to give it to myself. Bert-- hats off to you that you've done it for so long.

Pretty soon I'll have multiple injections daily and some of them intramuscular. Steve won't be around for some of them so I'll have to be brave enough to give them to myself. I'm getting myself psychologically prepared : {

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
