I had another doctor's appointment yesterday. They tested my blood again and found that my blood count didn't make much improvement from June. A blood count of 32-34 is considered anemic- my count in June was 35 and yesterday was only 36. So I now have to take two iron pills instead of one a day. Hopefully this will help me have a little more energy. Otherwise things looked good- the baby's heartbeat was 145 and we have an ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday. We won't be finding out the sex of the baby, as we want to keep that a surprise, but it will be great to finally get a peek at the little one! We scheduled it so that Ryleigh will be able to go with us. She is very excited to "see" her baby sister (Ryleigh is still determined that she is having a baby sister).
Just wanted to let everyone know that Jeff recently received his diploma from a local community college. After working hard over the last three years he finished up the last of his classes this past summer. He saved the best for last- Calculus, ugh! However, as usually he did great! His degree is an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts with a Business Transfer. Jeff is taking a semester off before starting back at it. He is planning to get his degree in Business Administration. At the next school he can do his entire degree online, which will be really nice. He figures it will take him about 3 years to finish up the program.
This past weekend I hit the 16 week mark. I am feeling much better these days- the "all day" morning sickness has gone away for the most part. I am still struggling with the tiredness though. Some of that has to do with being back at school and working all day, then coming home to a 4 year old that just wants to play, play, play. Our next doctor's visit is scheduled for the 29th of September and at that time we will probably set up the ultrasound visit to get a look at the little one. Ryleigh was able to go with me to the last appointment and hear the baby's heartbeat- she thought it sounded "crazy"!
