today was the day raven had been really scared of, i mean really scared, dont think i expected just how scared she was, let me explain ....
raven has a phobia of needles and the unknown, because she has never had a blood test before she didnt know what to expect or how it was going to be, which made her feel worse, i was unbelievable nervous for her, dont think ive been as nervous for a blood test before, expeshially when it wasnt even me having it.
anyway, the time came for us to make our way to the doctors once there we booked in again and waited, rave was shakin she was seriously scared, then her name was called, she really didnt want to go in at all but she knew she had to for our baby.
once in the nurses room, rave saw all the needles and test tubes and she just said to the nurse, ive never had a blood test before, im scared of needles and if my blood pressure was taken it would be through the roof, the nurse said its ok and settled her into the chair, and explained to her what she was gonna do, i went and sat on the bed cuz it was a really small room, and to be honest i thought the bed might have been better for rave cuz i thought she was gonna faint.
i looked at raven as the nurse was talkin to her and she was crying, i didnt realize just how bad her phobia was until that point, it made me feel awful cuz i couldnt cuddle her while she was havin it done, she looked so scared and the tears, was unbareable, i hate to see her cry on a normal day let alone a day when she has to have something like that done, i was really shocked at how worked up and just how bad of an ordeal it was for her.
on a good point, raves blood was really rich in colour and looke really healthy, so i feel good about the results of the tests, am so proud of rave for the tests, she did really well, and she did it for the baby, i know if she had a choice in it if she wasnt pregnant she wouldnt have had it, so im seriously proud of her. now all we have to do is wait for the results.
raven after she left the nurses office said i was worked up for nothing i only startde to feel it when the third tube was filling up lol, i had to smile to myself, we had told her it was nothing but to someone with a phobia of needles and of not knowing what to expect its a really big thing, but rave is feelin better about it now and is glad it is over, and so am i. until the next blood test nothing more to worry about lol.
