5th OB appointment

22 weeks 5 days pregnant today. Had my 5th OB appointment - baby is healthy, I'm measuring perfectly, blood pressure is good, gained 19 lbs thus far (wow!) Doing my glucose test in 3 weeks...icky! She said I will probably have to go on a higher dosage of iron because my hemoglobin levels are still low. I already take an iron supplement, but I guess it's not enough! She said to make sure I am getting enough red meat (which I probably eat about once a month....) and I'm taking my prenatals. I'm actually taking a children's multi-vitamin and a natural iron supplement because the prenatals make me sick. I did research and found out exactly how much of each vitamin/mineral/etc I need as a pregnant gal and with the two vitamins combined, I should be getting just the right amount. Now I'm a little worried though? But, baby looks healthy...hmmm. 

Anyhow, so tired today! I don't sleep well anymore, not like I have since I've become pregnant in the first place. The problem is with our bed. It's too small! We sleep on a full, which was fine pre-preggers, but now that I like to sprawl out and sleep with lots of pillows, I just don't sleep. Oh well, such is life, right? Now I need to get ready to head to the social services office and get them to start up my food stamps again - they canceled them because I never turned in my quarterly report for December. WELL...it was their fault! I called them the week that I was supposed to turn it in to let them know that I never received the reporting form. I left a message and they never called me back. I finally got a hold of them yesterday and they said I need to come in and fill it out now. I think I may take a nap before I tackle the S.S. Office. 

 Oh, and did I mention yet that this baby boy is super duper active and strong? I'm sure I have a zillion times - but it never ceases to amaze me! It seriously feels like he is performing some crazy karate moves in there. Other times I swear he's doing somersaults. Sometimes it's waaaay down low...and other times it's right above my belly button. Oh, and of course from far left to far right. He's active alright! It doesn't quite hurt, but it definitely feels weird, in a cool and awesome sort of way. And also, my belly looks really funny from the outside when he's moving around in there.
