Quick health update: I called my OB to say, yo, I’m anemic, what should I take? They had the bitch from hell OB call me back (the one that told me to stay off the internet).
Bitch OB: Just take some iron twice a day.

Bitch OB: nope, just take it twice a [...]

Thanks for all your well wishes from my last post.
I finally called in to see if they had my blood work results back. After the usual bumbling fumbling of my name etc, they couldn’t find them so said they would call me back.

Yes, it was quite a milestone for us because like most expectant fathers, Jeff had been looking forward to this for a while…
Baby only started moving so that I could feel him consistently at around 19-20 weeks around the same time we had the big U/S. Jeff had left town for a long business [...]

I’m a big podcast listener. Mostly I am just a public radio junkie who doesn’t spend enough time in her car to get her daily fill, so I subscribe to several podcasts (This American Life and Fresh Air being the ones I can’t live without!) and was thrilled to discover an excellent pregnancy podcast.
