Anemic

I got my blood test results back from my test for gestational diabetes (which I don't have thankfully) and found that I am not surprisingly anemic.  I actually suspected as much as I've had a few warning signs recently:

• I'm crazy tired



• Shortness of breath



• disturbing fantasies involving consumption of a bloody steak



• Obsession with watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer (jury is still out on whether or not this is a symptom of anemia)

I still, at seven months pregnant, can't choke down my prenatal vitamins, so it's no wonder I'm not getting enough iron.  I was told to start taking Alex's gummy bear vitamins and eat a bowl of shredded wheat every day and it should make me feel better.

I'm glad to have an official diagnosis of anemia rather than my just being a lazy vampire-addicted carnivore.  At least I can do something about anemia.
