i understand about not wanting to have blood drawn... and the fear that they will see the marks... i tend to hide them when i know that i am getting close to the 3 months...they draw my blood in my doctors office... so they know me really well...and they work with me to help me get out of the panic before they poke me...i go in march... isn't it funny how fear can trigger ... i wonder what that is all about... things are starting to calm a bit but the situation is really serious... it's so hard when you can't do anything to protect your children...even when it's from themselves...lyn
