I am getting over a really nasty sinus infection and cough. I thought I'd never get better and it was very reminiscent of the cough with the twins at the end. Thankfully I'm better, though I lost about 10 pounds.
I'm also anemic which doesn't help with the tiredness. I told the OB I'm seeing I was anemic and asked for advice. Her advice was to actually check my blood. So when the nurse called to say I was anemic, I really just wanted to say "Tell me something I didn't know..." I refrained. It wasn't even that I minded that she wanted to check. I suppose more validation would have been nice, like "Okay so you know you're anemic, let's find out how anemic." But this felt more like, "I don't think you know what's going on with your body."
So I'm trying my usual vitamins but I can't stomach them. I tried liquids, I tried gels, caplets and everything. Now I'm down to spinach salads once a day and red meat.
Ocho moves around a lot and I'm throughly enjoying that. I find myself paying more attention to the baby when its moving than everyone else. Yikes.
We did not choose to find out the sex of the baby, not even me. Sometimes I know and don't tell. But not this time, though I do have it in an envelope sealed should I feel the need to know. Most people don't understand how we can do this...
