I have been feeling a little under the weather as of late. Really tired, can't shake a cold/allergies, just overall not at the top of my game. I have had problems with my iron so naturally that was the first thing Nate and I thought of when I started to feel this way. I went in to get my iron levels checked and decided that I was going to check my thyroid because my weight is also a little off. Sure enough both came back not good. My thyroid levels were a low so my doctor changed the dosage of my Synthroid. My iron was also really low. They say that people feel good if their levels are 50. At 25 is when they say that you are too low and need to take iron pills and increase the iron in your diet. Mine was 2... So it's back in for IV therapy for me. I just had some IV therapy in February so I'm not sure why it's so low again, but apparently my body doesn't absorb iron very well.
I would post some pictures for you, but that would require getting them off my memory card and editing them for the web, but I'm just to tired to do that. So instead I'm going to make myself a cup of hot chocolate and sit in front of the TV. And then I'm going to go to sleep

Hang in there! I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. It is not easy to be a mom when you aren't on top of your game. If I can take your kids for a few hours, let me know.
seriously sister, i'm gone for one month and you're already falling apart! What are you going to do without me!! So, here are your nurse orders from Nurse Shea--go get IV therapy while im there then I can watch my little friends and you can take a nice long nap when you get home...do it...now...."2"..Im surprised they didnt pump pure iron into you right there and then....Berns' says to go chew on a piece of steel...he just doesnt get it...
I'm wanting to know how you can even roll yourself out of bed with an iron level of 2!!! Good grief, lady. I hope you get fixed up quickly.
