Blood Donation

Today, I donated blood for the first time!!!! I am NOT a big fan of needles, blood, etc!.... but I donated today in honor of a friend of mine who almost lost her life after giving birth to her daughter last year. As a mom, it hit really close to home for me - so since my church was hosting a blood drive - I thought I would try to donate. I got a little nervous (ok - REALLY nervous) when they labeled up about 5 bags... I'm thinking to myself - will I have to fill all those bags???? I was too scared to look or even ask someone.... after all I just had to fill 1 bag (which could save 3 lives!!!) - I never did ask what the other bags were for :)
