Ouch!

Typical that since I'm so damned scared of needles that when I went to have my blood tests on Monday the girl was unsuccessful in obtain a spot of blood despite three tries.

I bravely tried again on Wednesday and after having the first vein stop pumping blood (as I was freaking out) we tried once again and finally got the quantity needed for the first (of MANY) blood tests to come. Please tell me this isn't going to be a trend for this pregnancy ...

It goes without saying that Atti is going to be nowhere near me when I have any of these tests done ... I really don't set the best example (although I wish he was there to hold my hand and kiss it better).
