I am going to ask my for a raise at the end of the week.  I feel I deserve it but am really nervous to bring up the subject to him.
You have done such a great job! You should be proud of yourself and not be afraid to do so. 
Yeah, my wife says the same thing.  My boss is kinda intimidating though and it causes me to second guess myself at times.
Don't be ashamed or set yourself short espcially since you worked so hard. If you feel scared or hesitant to do so than I would talk to her boss to possibly set up a meeting.
