Ugh
We had a pretty traumatic morning yesterday. Collin and Cayla needed to get some bloodwork done. What I thought would be a quick 10 minute doctor visit turned into an 1 hour 40 minute visit from hell!!!!!!! First the nurse kept digging around trying to find Cayla veins. This resulted in lots of screaming and about 4 pokes. I had to hold Cayla's legs and "free arm", another nurse held her shoulder, and the second nurse did the actual poking. When they finally found a vein, the blood wouldn't flow because the nurse was holding her shoulder so tightly. It was awful - awful I tell you. And on top of it, I was the only calm, jokey person in the room (even though I sure didn't feel so calm). The nurses were all tense and snapping at each other and not saying a thing to Cayla. Luckily she was fine and back to normal, trying to pull her bandaid off and stick her head in the garbage can about 3 second after it was over.
Poor Collin had to witness this whole ordeal. He was screaming the minute I put Cayla down and glanced at him. Luckily they were fairly quick with him - only 1 poke.
The twins got suckers afterwards and were happy as clams!

Yes - the suckers made it all OK in the end! They both chose orange flavored ones.
And THANKS for the comments!
