Certificate of Bravery

Yesterday I had to get some blood work done before my next midwife appointment. Pregnancy really does have it's perks. Before I go on, let me explain that I have an almost insurmountable, illogical, terrible fear of needles. I have never given blood. I won't get blood tests. I'm just too scared. That was, I wouldn't before I was pregnant. I would do anything to make sure baby is healthy.

Because of this, I was forced with going to get blood tests ALL BY MYSELF aaaaaaand (here's the best part) I DIDN'T CRY!

Did you hear that mom? I got blood taken! AND I didn't cry!! (I wanted to though)

The lady gave me a certificate of bravery to show to Phil when he got home from work to show him that I was such a brave girl.

I think I did pretty well. The Lord gave me some pretty unexpected strength when I needed it and I overcame a huge fear of mine! (well, still working on it. Baby steps.)

    I just stumbled on your page and this post screamed out at me. While I don't hate needles in general (I'm heavily tattooed), I still have a HUGE fear of giving blood... makes me feel uneasy just thinking about it and makes me pass out, which I can't stand. I'm hoping when we have a baby I'll be able to get all the blood work done ok also. Congrats and good luck to you on this!
