So I have this weird thing/phobia that I can't stand needles. I can't stand anyone even touching the elbow pit where they draw blood. It's hard for me to even write these words as I'm thinking it. I know a lot of people that can't stand needles. I don't mind the pain, they just make me pass out-- my dad's the same way. I've tried several times and I just never make it.
Funny Story: (one of many stories I have similar to this)
My in-laws were visiting a few months ago and were staying at our place. Cameron and his mom left for a run so Cameron's dad, Alan, and I were the only ones here. I was sewing something upstairs and Alan peered into the room and said jokingly, "Don't get your finger stuck in there!" I laughed and continued and Alan went downstairs. A few moments later... BAM BAMBA BAM! Ouch! My finger did not get pierced but it got jammed on a little knob near the sewing needle. I looked at my finger and a small blood blister formed on my pointer finger. It hurt but it didn't bug me much, the blood did. And I think the fact that there was a needle (kind of, not really) involved in the injury. I ran myself to my bed, laid down, felt fine, and returned to sewing. The next thing I knew, I was lying on the floor not really knowing where I was. I looked at my chair and it was tipped over... I passed out! I ran my sweaty self to my bedroom hoping I wasn't going to faint again on the way there and also embarrassed that my father in law might see me. Well after I felt fine to stand, I told my father in law and he said her heard a lot thump upstairs and wondered what I dropped. Haha... it was me. Good thing I didn't slam my head.
So how will I have babies or fix "owies" for my kids? Hmm... guess we'll see when I get there.

i was the same and still sort of am, hate needles. but i would pass out and then throw up, which is even worse. some how i made it without any problems with my pregnancy and my baby now.

That is not pathetic. I've been poked with needles my whole life and they still freak me out! They are evil! :) But it did make me giggle! Hehe
Haha Linds, you're so cute! I have to have my blood drawn in about 30 minutes actually. I will think of you. :)
Happy Birthday Lindsay!!!!! A day late, but better late than never. Hope you had a good one.
