27 Weeks and 4 days!



I'm 27 weeks and 4 days now, but here's the photo I never uploaded for 25 weeks!

Update: My back feels like it's breaking in half..no biggie!
I met with the hemotologist last Monday I believe, and because my iron was so low, I'm now taking 325 mg three times a day with my prenatal vitamin. My body is getting used to it :)
Other than that, I'm just taking it all in stride, and eating everything in sight! Woo hoo! And Ella is having a party inside my belly on a regular basis now!

Mini Update

Just a mini update...

I had a few spells over the last past few weeks, where I would be in a store doing grocery shopping or just running a quick errand, and I would start sweating and feeling like I would collapse at any moment and have that really "heavy" feeling like someone just dropped a cinderblock on my bladder or something.. Well, I had to do the two hour sugar test at Southern OB the week before last, and the sugars came back ok, but the iron test came back really low. It wasn't the b12 part but the Ferritin levels and my red blood count was really low. From what I understand, it's on a scale from 10-291 and my test came back as a 7. So they now have me taking an extra iron supplement with my prenatal vitamin and I'm meeting with the Hemotologist on the 12th for more lab work, and I'll do another "random' sugar test on the 22nd of this month. It's one of those things that I'll do anything to find out what's going on, I just want to do what I need to fix it to make sure Ella is going to be ok.

Other than that, we're still super excited!!! I know these next few months will go by so fast with Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years coming up...I'll be 25 weeks on Saturday, and hope to post a new picture of the belly! I'm finally feeling her practice her martial arts on a more regular basis, and I hope Aaron can feel her kick soon!
