Results

Last week at our doctor's appointment, they drew my blood for gestational diabetes testing.  The results for diabetes were clear, but they discovered that I am anemic.  I guess this explains why I've been so tired lately.  I now have to start taking an Iron supplement every day along with my prenatal vitamin.  The nurse said anemia is common during pregnancy, and should go away after pregnancy.  Other than feeling tired all the time, things are going well and we are looking forward to Christmas!  I have been making garlands and a wreath to hang on the gates outside our house.  Brad painted the gates black (they were brown), and we're hoping to add lights this weekend.  We finished ALL our Christmas shopping, so I will be wrapping presents and putting them all under the tree, hopefully, by the end of the weekend.
