Happy Cast Off Day!!!

Brooklyn has been SO excited to get her cast off. The day finally came and we headed out to Primary Children's to meet with her surgeon. The x rays looked great and they quickly started cutting away the cast.
 After the cast came off it was time to pull out the pins. They asked if I wanted to watch, and since I was curious I said yes. I've never had a problem with blood or anything like that so I never thought I would have any issues. They pulled the huge pins out and then I started talking to her surgeon. I started getting light headed, which was making me mad, so I sat down (while still holding Brielle) and continued talking to the doctor. My whole body started going numb, which was still making me mad that I couldn't control it, so I finally set the baby on the floor and told them I wasn't feeling well. Luckily I set the baby down in time to black out. The nurse and surgeon caught me, had Brooklyn hop off the table, and had me lie down on the table. Awesome. I was SO embarrassed! I have NEVER done that before. I never even get queasy when I see blood or needles. They said it happens ALL the time when the pins are pulled out, especially watching your own child. So once I was feeling better they got Brooklyn wrapped up and we were on our way!
