Since I've been pregnant with twins it seems like everybody else is too. And I love looking at other peoples blogs to see how their pregnancy is going. I feel like I've had a really uneventful pregnancy (which is a good thing). But when I was pregnant with Asher I took that glucose test to see if I had gestational diabetes and I was borderline. And since I get most of my information from the Internet I've read that if you were borderline with a singleton then when you're pregnant with multiples you have a greater chance of having it.
I took my test yesterday, then today I went to lunch at Olive Garden. As soon as I got home my phone rang and it said "OB". I thought, "Oh great! I just ate my last meal!" Then she told me that I'm metabolizing my sugar great and that I'm not even close to borderline, but my Iron levels are extremely low.
This explains why I've been feeling the way I have. I have felt like I just want to sit on the couch and never get up! So I've upped my Iron and it almost made me think that we're all low in Iron. So every one's eating more spinach! (Or maybe flinstone vitamins with Iron) So that is the big event of my eventless pregnancy. I've been really lucky that this pregnancy has gone so well. I know so many people that have had and are having problems. At this point I have to look at the positive on everything because I'm just getting so uncomfortable. I'm almost measuring full term as if I were having one baby. So it's hard to think that I still have a little more than two months left. I'm sure that once I get my Iron up I'll feel a lot better though.
I've had so much fun with Asher lately too. He has been so good and so sweet! This has been the first time that I've really felt like I don't want him to get older. I love the age and stage he's in right now. I just hope that he always stays this sweet.
Last night I was talking to Matt's mom on speakerphone and she was about to hang up and Asher could tell so he ran to the phone saying, "Wait Grandma wait!" And she goes, "Oh what do you want Asher?" And he smiled and goes, "A bike!" It was way funny. People have been asking him what he wants for Christmas, so that's been his answer.
Asher has also been going to the bathroom on the toilet quite a bit lately. I'm not sure if it's me or him who's not ready to commit to being potty trained. Diapers are so easy when we're out doing things. He doesn't wear a diaper for at least a couple hours everyday and so far no accidents! Well, he doesn't poop in his toilet so we're waiting for that, and there was one of those accidents, at least he had underwear on though!
I don't know when I'll be ready for a picture for those of you who haven't seen my belly yet. Matt keeps wanting me to take a picture, so maybe soon.

That is so funny about your results. Mine were exactly the same. My iron was low. Go figure. I was acutally borderline once and diabetic once. So, when they called and told me that I was doing well, I full on cheered. Probably scared the poor nurse a little. Glad things are going well.
