It's off to work I go...
So today is bitter sweet for me. I am happy to go back to work and be good at what I am good at!
I also get to feel what Mark and all fathers out there feel every morning of that year mat. leave.
Our Day Home can't take Grace until the 17th so Mark has taken the day off to be with Grace and I get to leave them at home and head to work...this is hard!
Thanks Mark for being so good over the year on this one!
Let's see how we all do today!

Gracie's birthday!!!
I can't believe one year ago already!
One year ago I was very upset about having to have a C-section and miss out on the delivery of my first baby.
One year ago I was upset that Mark snuck out to get a burger at 4am!
One year ago I was thankful to have my best friend in that hospital room with me.
One year ago I held my baby girl for the first time!
Wow...how's things change and go by so fast!
Today we have invited lots of friends to join us. We love to have people around on special days!
Grace will get to play with her friends, make a mess of cake and simply make us happy to see how far she's come in only one year!
Enjoy the little things today! That's what makes life worth living for!

Frustration
I went to bed frustrated last night and woke up still feeling the same way.
I woke up stiff and in lots of pain again. I was feeling pretty good and it's been a while with little or no pain. I almost got used to it!
Last night was for a different reason. You see I don't mind giving myself the injections but it's the aftermath that's been building my frustration.
The needle itself is quick and painless. Once the needle is out...that's when my mood changes.
I feel a sudden stinging pain. Sometimes I bleed and if I do I know that's yet another bruise to look forward to. Sometimes within 10 minutes of so I get the "mosquito bite" I referred to a few days back. It gets really swollen and hot and sometimes even painful. Then the ice pack sometimes does more damage then it should. I ice the area after the shot to help the pain subside.
Then of course a few days later I have bumps under my skin where the shots were injected. I get really itchy...bug bite scratch all day kind of itchy. In 7 spots! And the last one are just having sore spots all over.
So that's my bit of complaining for the day!
For the positive...Mark's off for 5 days. I love when he's home!
We'll get to spend time together before I go back to work and plan Gracie's birthday party!
