Anemic? Dang... :)

So I met with my doctor today. She's back from her fabulous three week vacation with her family. She was great and answered a lot of my questions. She asked me if I knew I was a little anemic. I said, "No... what does that mean for me?" She says that I need to eat more red meat and potentially go on an iron supplement. I can't remember how big a supplement she mentioned, so I'll call her later to figure that one out.

But this would explain some of my cravings for red meat lately and my feeling of extreme tiredness and weakness! I'll try eating some red meat and see how that helps me.

On the upside, the baby is moving around often enough so that's exciting. I love feeling my baby move inside me. Yes, it's creepy but cool at the same time. At nights I've been sore and in pain, maybe adding more pillows might help but I think this is all just what happens in pregnancy. :( We so look forward to meeting this little one! It's exciting in a way not knowing if it's a boy or girl for sure. At first I was annoyed, but really I am happy. It'll be fun to find out when the baby comes.

Well that's it for now! Blessings!
