Feeling better

Category: My life | Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 5:33 am

Mom I know filled ya'll in on my blood pressure. I feel a lot better, but I'm still pretty tired and having some dizziness. But the tiredness is from being anemic so I will start taking iron supplements along with my prenatal vitamins so that when I do have the c-section, I won't hopefully need a blood transfusion so I gotta work to get my red blood cell count back up. It isn 't that low, but they really want it to be normal. The doctor is going to set the date for my c-section next week, so I will have a date, at least. I could go into labor before then, but the dr. sounded happy with my blood pressure and labwork. So we will keep trucking in the right direction!! Logan sure is kicking a lot and the other night, we could actually feel the outline of one of his little feet!! Talk about weird!!! The whole thing is kind of like a sci-fi movie...lol But, he is doing great. I only gained a pound since the 9th, but at least it's going up. So that is what has happened with Logan so far.
But I also have some gardening news...finally!!
Last spring, Trey tried to help me by "watering" my tulips and drown them all....so I thought. I was coming home from the doctor's office the other day and was commenting to Richie how I wished I had some flowers to look at other than the ones posted on Gardenstew and low and behold we look in my barrin tulip bed and there were tulips sprouting!!!!! I didn't get a chance to count how many there were but it looked to be around 9 or 10! I couldn't believe it! So when I am able to, or I may get Richie to take some pictures of the sprouts. I am so suprised!! Hopefully more will come up too! So I will have some tulips this year after all!!! I will post some pics as soon as I can.
Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. It helps keep my spirits up while waiting for Logan to make his debut!! It means a lot to me!!! I'm very grateful to my friends here on the Stew!!!

So good to hear that you're feeling better Heather. I hope the iron supplement does the trick and brings your RCC back up to normal.

I'm really pleased that your tulips have begun to sprout again this year. Just think in a few weeks you'll have little Logan to show them off to!!

Keep well and take care.

I'm so glad you are feeling better Heather. I had to take Iron supplements with all my pregnancy's...I seem to remember 4 a day. Just make sure you stock up on prunes! LOL
Great news about your Tulips!

I think one of the first pictures that Glenda posted was of Trey picking your tulips. I am glad you are feeling some better. Dooley

Thank you all for the comments. ZuZu,I made my hubby laugh when I said it was like a sci-fi movie. But when you can sit there and actually see a outline of a little foot in there..it really looks alien...lol It's a cool feeling though,even if it is weird..:)
