As I was feeling not awesome today I had to look up whats causing my weakness and dizziness. It is somewhat common in pregnancies in the 20th week to need more iron because of the baby's growth. My dr having seeing me at 18.5 weeks should/could have told me... But didn't. Now after finding out the truth - I will have to add 35-50 mg. To my diet!
Needless to say.. Hopefully after resting and eating a high iron rich meal mommy will feel better and stop feeling like her head is spinning.
Dear baby Allison, I know your not hurting mommy on purpose.. But could we please work on not giving mommy every bad side effect of having you on board?
Love mom.

Time for an update!!
3 months is more than enough time in-between blogs! So here is a recap on our baby's progress.
The first trimester was pain! Jessica was sick every other day which made working kind of hard. Her favorite foods at this point was crackers. she also had a real hard time with different meats...
That time seems like forever ago now that we can steer clear. We are now in the second trimester! Jessica is also seeing a chiropractor for the first time and that dr is helping her out a lot! 1 week Jessica had 3 migraines.. So I (Robert) scheduled her chiropractor appointment. Now having regular appointments she hasn't had many headaches. Yay!
Jessica is at week 20 today in her pregnancy and 2 weeks ago we had an ultrasound and sonogram. We are having a girl! And we already have a name that's going to stay. Allison Jean Sletto.
"Jean" is a family name on Roberts side once had been "Gene" the women on that side inherited it. It became Jeanne and now with ours just Jean. :D but we debated what her first name should be... Robert got to pick middle and last so that means Jessica got to pick first name.
At the last dr visit jessica's dr said the baby's growth is still normal and that is great! We just get to see her progress over time. :D
