Today I gave blood for the first time since Caleb was born. The whole process went very smoothly, and my whole donation took about 5 minutes. You have to love the increased blood volume while nursing.
I had been worried about my physical reaction to losing a pint of blood, but I should have known the biggest reaction would be from my hormones. As soon as the donation was finished, I felt a sense of connection I had never felt before. All I could think was that my blood would, in not very long, be going to someone who needed it.
In my hormonal melodrama, I was saving someone's baby.
