Blood is thicker than water? . . .I'm hungry!

I once knew a girl who fainted because people were talking about blood.  If you are one of those people don't read on.

I am sitting here when I would usually be eating my lunch.  All I can think about is eating.  But, sadly I cannot eat at the moment.  I am going to get my blood drawn today. I don't like it.  I wish there was some way I could avoid it.

But having a baby is like that.  You don't want to go to the hospital.  You don't want to go through pain.  If I don't think about it maybe it will be better.  But the more I try to not think about the more I think about it.  They say I am supposed to embrace the pain. . . and not fight it.  I'm working on it.  My siblings would say I'm somewhat bossy.  .  . controlling my mind should come easy right?

In the end I guess it's true what they say.  .  .something about nothing ventured nothing gained. . . no pain no gain, or is it if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger,  Maybe I should make some lemonade?  Pain is beauty? I don't think apples will keep the Dr. away at this point.  And would a rose name Goliath smell sweet?

Maybe it's what Matt always says to annoy me:  I never said it would be easy.

But it is so worth it!

Good luck Sandra!! I am the same as you with the blood drawing thing. I just don't like it. I have been very proud of myself though during this pregnancy...we will see how I do when it comes time to DELIVER!! =) And you are right...IT IS SO WORTH IT!!!!!
Just know you have someone out there that totally knows what you are going through! I almost always faint when I get shots or my blood drawn!

Oh no, you mean when I finally get married one day (when, not if!), and when I have a baby life will still be hard? Gee thanks! Just kidding! I've been contemplating hard AND worth it things this weekend. Thanks for your take on it. HUGS!
