Yeah!! I'm anemic...

For the last month my Mother has been telling me that I'm so white I glow. I took it as a compliment, but she intended it as a suggestion that I get my iron levels checked. I finally gave in and did so, and the Dr. called to let me know I'm very anemic. Apparently we're supposed to have 35 - 150 mg/dl of iron in our blood, and I have 16. I'm actually pleased to find out I'm anemic, it means maybe the fact I'm always so tired isn't just because I have 3 babies in the house... there is a light at the end of the tunnel when the iron pills kick in! I had to laugh though when the Dr. asked me if I had noticed that I was tired - of course I noticed, but who wouldn't be with 2 new infants around?!
