We do watch some of those shows and always say, "What on earth would they think about our house?" Thanks for sharing.

Now it's so second nature. When she recently, at 11, got her first period at school the school nurse & her teacher just kept telling me how well she handled herself, how many girls freak out & have to be sent home from school, but how mine just walked in, told the nurse what was happening, handled it & went back to class. I reminded them that my girl pricks her finger at least 8 times a day, has sites that sometimes bleed & is very used to her own blood. <br />I find blood spots everywhere from random testing, used test strips in the oddest places - she's testing - it's all good!<br /><br />embracing your new normalBetsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-2293497409293373662012-03-29T20:36:06.374-07:002012-03-29T20:36:06.374-07:00I was never a fan of blood either, and needles? fo...I was never a fan of blood either, and needles? forget about it, EEEW! Now it doesn't faze me. I do wonder what people think though, just yesterday I took my kids to the pool, as I sat there watching, I checked Kortnie's BG, 67, eat some tabs and recheck up to 93, 2 more tabs and off to swim, recheck in 30 minutes. I got quite a few odd looks from the group of mom's next to me, I wondered what they were thinking, but they didn't ask any questions and I didn't volunteer anything either, sometimes, just like Kork, I don't want to talk about it.<br /><br />Way to Normal!

However, with that said Isaac has been getting in a bit of trouble lately for using me as his bloody finger wiping spot, no go with brand new white shirts...grrrr!

I try to focus on how strong my Jack is because of diabetes, yet there are those moments where I think "blood should startle you" and it doesn't. Because you are so right, blood means he is still alive and I am thankful for every drop.
