IRON

So... tomorrow I go for a visit to the midwife. They are going to be testing my iron levels, which have been gradually decreasing over the past few weeks. I started taking iron pills (yuck-o) and just added liquid chlorophyll the regimen. However... I need a little miracle for the difference to show up in my blood test tomorrow. Please pray that my levels hit high enough to be cleared to deliver at the birth center. :) Wouldn't that stink after the bedrest -- to not have high enough iron to do it after all?

So the chlorophyll is interesting... it is really supposed to do wonders for blood and when taken in conjunction w/ the iron pill it should give me a good boost. And thankfully it doesn't taste bad at all. I put 1 tablespoon in with a glass of ice water and it is like drinking cold tea. It is flavored with mint, but I think it tastes closer to chamomile tea. So that is nice -- no gagging while choking the stuff down.

Anyway... that's it. Just need a little miracle for my blood. :) I'll let you know what we find out after the visit tomorrow...
