Popeye the Sailor Man

Well for the last month I have been on iron 3 times a day to boost my hemoglobin levels. It was 11 at 14 weeks, 10 at 24 weeks and is now down to 9.5 at 28 weeks. My doc wasn't happy that it continued to drop despite all the iron. All my other labs were normal so basically I just wasn't absorbing all the iron I was taking. So now they switched me to a different form of iron to see if I can absorb that instead. However, Dexter seems unphased by this (perhaps he is stealing all my iron) and is growing beyond schedule. He is currently following in his cousin Cole's footsteps of being in the 90%+ percentile for growth. His head circumference and long bone measurements put him at 29weeks 4 days (vs 28weeks 1 day which I really am). He also measures about 3 pounds.
Above is a nice face shot of Dex. You can see his eyes, nose and mouth pretty clearly. We are now on every 2 week doctor visits but I wont get another growth ultrasounds for 4 weeks since he appears to be doing just fine. So Feb 19th I see my doctor again and I get more lab work to check on my levels. She said if they continue to drop she will give me IV iron. Thats about it from here. Everyone is doing great and hope you are also!
