My doctor just called. My iron level was 9, even with taking iron supplements. I'm basically very anemic, which is no surprise. My iron level was 7 when I was pregnant with Corbin. My Hematocrit (some other type of iron?) level was 30, which is apparently also crazy low, and platelets count went way down, not up.
Time to prepare for a natural childbirth, just in case it drops as much again in the next few weeks.
I've upped my iron intake and my nap-taking is on the rise as well. I've also decreased my stair climbing, Soren carrying, hair doing, and and dressed-getting. That should help a little.
No wonder I'm so tired! Zero. Energy.
This last month is going to fly by. Scott, Kristie and Ben will be here for a week starting Saturday, and grandparents will all be coming and going December 1-9 for Quincy's baptism on the 6th. Q turns 8 on the 4th, It's my turn to teach preschool on the 10th, and I'm in charge of enrichment on the 11th. Reese turns 10 on the 14th, I'm planning on two birthday parties in there somewhere, plus the ward party on the 13th, a zillion class parties on the 19th that I'm supposed to help with, then the kids are out of school, and of course Christmas on the 25th.
So many great things to look forward to. I need to hire someone to come deep clean.
But maybe also I could crawl under a warm blanket and y'all could just wake me up when it's over? ;)
Way to go out with a bang, 2014!
