We took it easy over the weekend and didn't do much. James worked in the yard some. It was nice that everyone got to go to church since no one is currently ill!
We had a holiday Tuesday, Pioneer Day. To me it always feels like another 4th of July, and this one was no exception. We went to the Scout breakfast and thought about the parade, but James decided to take the kids "into the wild" to build a hideout while I went grocery shopping. One more trip till I turn things over to James! It's really hard to find the energy to trek through Walmart for an hour and a half. During the afternoon, they all went over to play games with the Boyles and Scows. Lewis and I took a nap.
I had an appointment yesterday and found out that my iron is a little low and I'll need to supplement. It's such a bummer because I was really faithful about taking my prenatal vitamins and had just finished what I thought would be the last of them. I looked at the bottle and realized that never had any iron in them. Oops. I have a lot working against me...
1. Having a baby last year and not faithfully taking prenatals during that pregnancy.
2. Getting pregnant again while nursing.
3. Not taking any iron this time around...oops.
4. Not eating a super healthy diet.
5. Taking an acid reducer 2x a day.
I guess I should be grateful that it hasn't happened sooner. There's nothing to worry about as long as I get my pills and take them. I hope they don't make me feel horrible. Iron has a bad reputation for that. Oh well. This will be over soon.
Last night I was in enough pain to actually take a bath. It really helped! I'm glad there are usually solutions to deal with all these annoying problems. I'm looking forward to when it doesn't take so much work to simply not hurt. Soon. I am seriously considering getting induced since my doctor will be going out of town from 40w3d until I am past 41w. Whether I go into labor on my own or not, I still end up on the maximum amount of Pitocin. But we shall see.
