Hi elmomommyto1 {up}

Great news about your appointment :P I knew it would be OK.

I bet you are so glad to have those ultrasound pics (what a great surprise!)

I would love to see the pics!

I'll PM you later :wink:

Hopefully your blood tests will go a bit more smoothly next time :lol:[/quote]

Actually as of today, I've made a bit of a decision that will hopefully make sure that things go better next time. I didn't mention that the last and only time I had to have blood drawn at their office that I had another three attempts with huge bruises (which is what I've end up with now).

So I've decided to go through a local medical practice to get my blood work done since I had to have multiple draws during my miscarriage a year ago there and I never had a problem with multiple attempts OR bruising. Maybe it's time for the midwife's office to get better nurses that are a bit more knowledgable about drawing blood 8). Hopefully this will end the drama that seems to follow me with drawing at their office since I won't be doing them there again!

P.S. Both botched multiple attempts were made by TWO different nurses!!! So I'm literally now afraid to take my chances anymore!

I'm glad that everything is going well! :D

Hopefully your blood tests will go a bit more smoothly next time :lol:

YAY!

That's great news! I can't wait to see the pictures! :mrgreen:
