Last night was Genogirl's 11th shot. She said it hurt. And it bled a little.
We are all trying to normalize the situation as much as possible. I know she was not faking that it hurt. She said it was the worst one ever. I feel like the worst mom ever.
Is it because I botched changing the cartridge? I doubt it but I can't help but think that. What did I do differently? Did I not inject at exactly a 90 degree angle? Did I inject precisely into the site of a previous shot? Were her legs sore from her track meet earlier in the evening and so more sensitive? I know I shouldn't blame myself and yet of course my mind goes to that place.
We are both nervous about tonight.

I'm sorry that shot went bad, it seems like it will get easier. It was probably because the cartridge was full. Do you have a friend who is a nurse? She/he might be able to help you with loading the cartridge. Those directions are always hard to follow. When you come this summer I have a friend who is a nurse who might be able to help if you haven't gotten it down by then. I'm with you with those cookies. Wish I was there to help polish them off, so you don't have to. Keep up the good work. I'm reading!
