I’ve just been totally wiped out this week. Turns out that there is actually an underlying cause – I had some routine bloodwork done on Thursday, and I’m apparently anemic. I guess this isn’t an uncommon pregnancy issue, which is why they test for it around now. It does explain a lot…
But the extra iron supplements my doctor suggested really haven’t helped much. (Granted, I’ve only taken them for a couple of days so far, maybe it’s cumulative?) I took a two-hour “nap” this afternoon (can you call it a nap when it’s that long?) and I still feel like I could go back to sleep for another two – or more – hours.
This is not helping me get anything at all done. Even ignoring the dog fur tumbleweeds and layers of dust, I have no energy to cook, or knit, or blog. Just the thought of trying to get the nursery in order is too much energy. I hope this gets better soon, or baby is going to come home to a room with ugly striped wallpaper, a weight bench, and random furniture and other stuff that’s accumulated in there over the last five years.
