A little thing called IRON!

Well today was my 30 week appt for Sheyna. And for the most part it went good. Her heartrate was 142, and i weigh 130.6 so ive gained some more weight which is good. I recently have been feeling so horrible tho, i get very short of breath after doing simple things like changing adryans diaper, or loading the dishwasher, folding laundry, simple tasks. So i told my doctor about it and she said its because i have iron deficency, and my iron tablets should help it. well i have been taking my pills for about a week now, and in my opinion the feeling is just getting worse. So today i did some research about this whole anemic during pregnancy and it turns out it is a bigger deal than my doctor led me to think. It can cause low birth weight, low weight gain for me, dizzy spells, even newborn death! so tonight i went to sprouts and got a bunch of different kinda of foods that are high in iron so hopefully i can start feeling better, and make sure my little girl is ok! Its insane to think that our bodies are made so precisly that if one piece to the puzzle is missing, our bodies will fall apart! I hope i start feeling better, and soon because my little boy doesnt understand "Mommy doesnt feel good today so take it easy."
I cant wait for Corey to be home and this will alllll be over!! And our little girl will be here! Friday i am 31 weeks! I cant believe how fast the time has gone! WOW! so long for now, i'll write again soon!
