I did it...

Ok... I actually gave Lydia her shot today for the first time, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It was not nearly as bad as cleaning Audrey's burn wound a while back like I had compared it to. Lydia barely cried at all...I think she was being easy on her momma...what a sweetheart! It's funny how you have to have experience doing something to get used to it....when I got ready to give the shot, the nurse said, "Hold on...It's not a dart." We both started laughing, and I said, "I think this is what I did in the orange...show me what I'm supposed to do." Then, it took me a while before I could get it from my hand and into her leg....I started to and hesitated a couple of times, just nervous I guess. Afterwards, the nurse was very enthusiastic about telling me what a great job I did...I think she could tell I needed the reassurance. It really wasn't bad at all, and I think I'll be able to do it again.
