30 week checkup

Met with the doc today, my hemoglobin is up from 9.5 to 9.8 so they are happy it went up instead of down. They are going to repeat the blood work in a few weeks to see any new changes. Dexter's heartbeat was nice and strong in the 140-150s and everything else about the visit and lab work was normal. She wants me to try and drink a lot more fluids though because a couple times this past week about an hour after waking up I was getting really dizzy/faint and that's probably a combo of my low hemoglobin and not getting fluids during the night. She said if increasing my fluids doesn't help or it starts happening more than just the mornings to come in and they would probably just give me IV fluids. In 2 more weeks (March 6th) I have my 32 week doctor visit and growth ultrasound scheduled.

Big Happy 1st birthday to Holly's son Rowan today!

I find that I wake during the night being extremely thirsty, also. Everything sounds like it's going really well!
