Diet wise, I want to do better. It occurred to me that I'm not likely getting enough iron - I did a little Google search about anemia and found out that headaches (which I have been having more frequently, for seemingly no good reason) are a symptom, along with fatigue, dizziness and irritability. Ha! I don't know if I can blame my grumpiness on a lack of iron, but it's a good excuse anyway!
Anyway, I am going to work on being more mindful of my natural intake of iron from various food sources... and probably when we return from our vacation (we're heading out for a couple weeks) I will buy some Floradix (a natural iron supplement) to boost my iron!
We have been super busy lately, getting our house ready to sell - and now that it is on the market, I have to be extra vigilant in keeping it clean and tidy. That's a lot of work with 5 kids underfoot, but we're learning to work together!
As far as the little Sweet Pea... I have been feeling so much strong movement, and this little one is so active! I am measuring around 23-24 (last week) and although that is ahead of where I should be, I'm not going to expect that I'm too much further along - yet. However, I have my suspicions that I could be at least a week further along because of the activity I've felt and the pregnancy symptoms I felt before I had a positive test. Well... not that that matters much anyway. I know I'll be late, it's only a matter of how late!
That's all for now! I think I'll finish my cup of Red Raspberry Leaf tea now... extra enjoyable on this dreary, rainy summer day.
Hey, I've been thinking of you lately! How's the pregnancy? Sounds like you guys are very busy!! A friend of mine is expecting her 6th here too, she's using a midwife for the first time! Anyways, thought I'd drop you a note to say you guys are in our thoughts :) Good luck with all the moving!
