First day of giving my daughter her needle.....

Today we were going to go to the hospital for the last time to give Sophie her Methotrexate Injection, with the help of the nurse. But because of the stormy weather I decided I was ready to attempt it here at home with no help, not even my mom here for a distraction for Sophie. I called the nurse and she said go for it , that I could  always come back next week if things did not go well. When she came home I had everything out . She had had a bad day at school so she was cranky, I thought oh no this does not set the stage for a good attempt at this, she can be very hard headed and stubborn ( doesn't come by that honestly lol ) !! She finally got out of her  mood and let me put the numbing cream on her arm, it takes a good hour to work , it helps numb the skin so they do not feel the needle, who ever invented this, I love you sooooo much !!! lol  We did some crafts and then she played on the computer.... I said ok lets find a video for you to watch while I give your needle, it had to be a barbie princess clip on youtube , hoping she would be busy watching and not even notice. I got everything in place and followed the instructions I was given and gave it to her whooohooo, afterwards I took a deep breath and was ok , it was ok. It still sucks to have to give your child a needle , she hates it , I hate it but we both did it and it was ok , we were ok !!!!
