Dear Anemia (part 2),
After your little display of dramatics the other night, I heeded the doctor's advice and packed my body full of iron rich foods. All I have to say is that burgers and broccoli for dinner suck. They don't even hold a friggin candle to fried macs and cheese. Yeah Yeah I made life choices that left me this way but frankly I dont wanna hear it from you anymore. If you think I am going to take one more iron pill, you are sadly mistaken as I wish for my intestines NOT to implode.
Kisses,
Leslie

Re: Dear Anemia (part 2),
yeah, that combo sounds a bit unusual....
with your small appetite, broc seems like a double-edged sword.... it's high in iron, but it's sooo filling!
wonder if there are beefy spinach dishes that will be a bit more satisfying  (Spinach is comperable to broc in the iron dept, right ) I find spinach to be much less dense than broc in my stomach.......

Re: Dear Anemia (part 2),
I suppose I could mix the spinach in the chopped meat but then I may burn out the iron. Oh ya know what, this kid is going to get one good talking to when she is born.

Funny you should mention that. DH and I were to go to Peter Luger for my birthday this Sunday as we did last year. We were to have a big fat steak and creamed spinach and shrimp cocktail and just indulge in pure gluttony. But now since my itty bitty stomach has virtually no capacity for food - even the iron rich kind, we are deferring the meal until my uterus allows my organs some semblance of normalcy.

Re: Dear Anemia (part 2),
that's too bad that you have to defer that trip!
how about making it at home with a much smaller portion of steak for a few days? Then going for the real deal for your first 'date' with DH after Ed-lie arrives....
My birthday ritual includes a fudgy the whale cake from carvel with extra crunchies... I'd be super-sad right now (with my gestational diabetes) if I couldn't partake in at least something similar....

Re: Dear Anemia (part 2),
Amen to that! My nurse called me up and told me the other day my glucose test results and then proceeds to tell me that I am Anemic. Ummm yea no sh*t Shirlock. How much more iron can I choke down my throat as if the Repliva isn't bad enough, the loads of asparagus, broccoli and chick peas are getting tired!!  I feel your pain girl!
