25 Week Update

So I got my phone call back from the doctors office about my glucose test and I passed! Phew.. I was kinda worrying about it, but all is good. They did however find out that I am Anemic. For those who dont know what that means (as I didn't) Anemia usually is caused by deficiencies of iron, I guess it can also be caused by a deficiency in red blood cell production. So I am now on a medication (I will start tomorrow) to get some more iron in my body. Which all makes sense.. I do get really weak latley, really tired and worn out after doing simple things as in walk for about 5 min (somewhat briskly or not), climb stairs and what not. I figured it was just due to pregnancy which, I guess partly can be but now i know it is more due to the anemia. Hopefully the pills will make it better.

Other than that.. I guess that's all. Jason started working on the baby room a bit more. He has got the holes in the walls (where old pics were) all mudded up and ready to be painted. That will probably be done this weekend. Then my uncle Roy, later on, Is gonna help us with a Chair rail.

So far we still need to put the new dresser all together, It is now still in a box in the loft (along with a lot of other items with no home yet). I dont know where I will put all this stuff. Oh well.. I will find a place i guess.

Love ya all

Can;t wait to see the room! I know some people that are anemic too. Hope the meds help out with that!

Hey Danielle,
Anemia must run in the family...I started on supplements back in 2006for it. Good that you found that out and can start boosting your iron levels now. It was good to see your pictures and read about Baby Brandon. Best wishes to you!
