IRON

Who knew that one little pill could make such a difference! I just had a midwife appointment this week and evidently had VERY VERY VERY low iron levels. The normal range is between 20-200. I had 11. YIKES! No wonder I was so shattered after work and falling asleep by 7:30 most nights. POOR SAM :) I started the iron pills yesterday the midwife prescribed (which is double the dosage that health food stores carry and she has me taking 2 every day) and the difference in my energy was IMMEDIATE! I didn't feel like falling over at my desk at 3 and I even did the dishes and got things done in the house without making myself. My energy level even overwhelmed Sam a bit, plus he was a little sad because he always got to watch what he wanted at night on TV because I was asleep :)

Funny how you can change one thing and feel like you re entered the land of the living again.

HAPPY DAY FOR IRON PILLS!!!
