Melody has been twisting and turning and kicking and punching me all over the place. She’ such a strong little girl 
I’m doing better this week. Sunday was a real tiring one though. I found myself so tired and deprived of sleep that I skipped Bible Study, took a Unisom sleeping pill, and went right to bed. I then slept for ten hours and wow you have no idea how great that felt. I’ve since not taken anymore sleeping pills because I don’t like taking drugs if I don’t need them. I’ve slept fine the last couple of days and I can only pray it keeps up.
Did I mention I feel really really HUGE? lol…
Oh, and it’s official, my Baby Shower will be on Saturday, May 3rd at 2pm. Make it if you can but if not you can still get something for little Melody at our baby registries at Target or Babies-R-Us! Just search for Erin or Justin Lowmaster.

28 weeks pregnant today
How am I doing this week?
On Monday, was my 28 week Doctor’s appointment. I had to take the glucose orange drink to test for gestational diabetes and give blood for the testing. I also saw a different Doctor due to mine being stuck in surgery. I got my results back today and I don’t have gestational diabetes but I am severely anemic. They told me to take Slow FE and to try to increase my iron intake. Also I was told spinach, cranberries, and soda, along with tea block iron intake … and I have been having all those… I really honestly had no idea! So, it’s back on track to getting things right.. I’m tired of being well… TIRED!
So bring on the chicken liver!
