I have a pregnancy update for you I have good news and bad news the birthing center could potentially be out [Music] now [Music] how's it going guys hope you're doing well today we are heading out the door right now we're dropping kids off at school and then I don't really know we're doing I feel like that's like the beginning of all our vlogs I don't know what we're doing today okay I got something cool to tell you guys it's a little nerdy so bear with me I have no makeup on so also bear with me there did you know if you burn easily in the Sun one thing you should do is increase your vitamins and your greens the second thing you should do if you have sunglasses do not put them on until about 15 minutes after you go outside because your eyes actually get signals from the sunlight and that's what helps your body produce the melatonin to help you tan instead of burn and help protect your skin but but if you immediately put on sunglasses like when you're inside before you even go outside or too soon your eyes don't get this same cues from the Sun that makes you more from the burning I did not know that as I'm wearing my sunglasses I'm like take her sunglasses off left a melatonin flow but doesn't know until I make you sleepy sorry I got sleep on my mind I need to know so that was just a huge success adilyn has had such a hard time going into school she tired getting taken out okay getting out of the car just get his people no and all this stuff so she just got out with someone that I don't think she's super second time this week like the first time this preschool director who she does know and like so that's why today I was like okay we have to get her to take her out of the car yeah but it was somebody else and she did it so I just wanna let you guys know that today is gonna be a good day and I said the other week that she had so much trouble this was like the first day she had trouble but then she was fine the next time but then there was the hurricane we left yeah yeah came back and instead like of me walking her in like I normally would and like hanging out with her until she's cool we just had to drop her off yeah and she was upset so then the next time on Thursday she was upset so I think she just needed to get back into being well hopefully that is a new normal because it's so much easier to go when she's not upset I think it's easier for her to go on had a Leslie Compton yes it's been a good morning so far so anyways we're off to target there you go I figured that's why we were going I wasn't sure hey what did you talk about what are you seeing hey all kinds of stuff that's great I need to excited we should get these for the girls they would love that it's only a dollar just the one cool thing that I really do like it's like dollar three dollar section where that says is they have these crafts and like that's really cool a dollar to occupy your kids for like 30 minutes that's worth it okay dollar to paint for 10 seconds that's worth it spilled glitter if you don't follow me on instagram we are the Marie's first of my stories yesterday asking for our people for like feedback on chase is a water bowl situation like if this is his bowl the water is that's what I'm looking at this and like do it that's it look in most of it but no it's still a B yeah so we need some kind of mat actually that's not gonna help it's still gonna be all the way for [Music] visit that kid is so sweet I love that little girl she gives all the kisses I laugh I told you guys there's one night where I woke up I had to get her up she was crying and she came to sat bent I laid back down on my back and I have my eyes closed and then I just feel her go come on kiss me three times she says [Music] okay we're giving this if you guys don't know what good skill pumpkin project is basically you put a teal colored pumpkin out on your porch for trick-or-treaters to say that I have allergen friendly treats and I do this every year because I know it's like especially now with Elena having celiac disease that's even one more thing but like we avoid food dyes and all that the kids can usually get whatever candy and they trade it in to me anyway but yeah so that's to let the like kids that might have allergies to dairy or soy or dyes or whatever know that you have treats available because some kids might not be I don't know our kids are pretty laid-back about our kids are pretty laid-back about it and they're pretty like okay they've always been okay with certain things but I imagine for some kids they don't want to go up to a house considerate option do you think Jude or addy would like listen we should take that home and I'll she gonna kiss it - you're so - you kiss everything okay we should take that home and say sorry guys something happened to Francis gram and Gramps said Francis didn't make it [Music] [Laughter] this guy [Applause] did you say a bad word no almost so the kids are home I am actually heading out to a wedding right now I have to shoot a wedding that's a friend of Mines and so I'm kind of like guest slash videographer I felt bad cuz Danielle is here with all the kids as much as I enjoyed getting away from the kids times I hate leaving her especially at dinner time that time so that sucks hopefully she'll survive okay friends so I have a pregnancy update for you the birthing center could potentially be out for us so when I went the other day I had my bloodwork done I thought it was just a glucose screening for gestational diabetes which I know a few people had commented saying that I have symptoms that seem like it could be that it's never even crossed my mind to be honest cuz I've not had yet like not even remotely close in the last and five pregnancies before this one so they had my bloodwork done and it finally came back in and she called me she said I have good news and bad news and I was like not expecting that I guess so they didn't just do the glucose screening they also tested my iron so glucose was fine everybody that was worried for me it's okay don't have gestational diabetes again she said passed with flying colors but I am severely anemic my hemoglobin was 8.4 and my hematocrit was 27 but in order to even deliver at the birth center I have to be at 10 and 33 so I've got to work on getting my iron up really fast they said here I'm already um almost 32 weeks which is crazy so by my next appointment or in about four weeks they want to see those numbers up closer at least to where they're supposed to be Jude what are you doing crazy anyway said that explains a whole lot of why been feeling so tired lately say hi okay so um telling Jeff I don't know why I'm so tired and he was like yeah okay whatever you're always tired I'm like no I just feel so drained that explains it and that's honestly the first thing that the nurse and then in an email from the Midwife you both said like wow no wonder you've been feeling beef like I and surprised you're functioning at all with those numbers got work to do I am taking several supplements to try to bring it up I thought I would share that with you guys in case this is something that you've been through or that you ever experienced and obviously I will keep you updated when I have my blood drawn next to see where my levels are one thing I'm doing is drinking ningxia read it is young livings wolfberry or goji berry puree juice supplement the wolfberry is super super high in iron and all kinds of vitamins and minerals and it's just really good for you it's really really really good for your blood so I'm pretty much quadrupling the normal daily dose which is two ounces a day I am drinking like a whole glass a day of that I am taking young living super be vitamin super B because b vitamins b12 plays into their iron levels so a daily dose of this is two tablets and that's one thousand six hundred and seventy percent of your daily be vitamin normally I am taking four to six of these a day and then they're multi greens supplement this has spirulina and choline in it so basically it's like a chlorophyll supplement core feels really really good for your blood and your iron so I'm also the serving size where this is three capsules a day I am taking eight so I'm doubling up on that to see how that goes and then I'm also taking super C which is a vitamin C supplement the thing about Young Living supplements it's not like going to the store and just picking up off the shelf or even going to Whole Foods these are all bioavailable which means that your body takes the nutrients and can use it very efficiently when you go to like just a store whatever buy cheap vitamins a lot of times they're synthetic or made in a lab and your body you can't even use most of it so you'll see really high doses like ridiculous numbers of vitamin C milligrams and that is because your body actually wastes most of it because it doesn't know and even it went though what it does apply it doesn't apply it in the best most efficient way so anyway and living supplements come from whole food sources they have added essential oils to them which actually increase the amount that is absorbed like Multi greens before the essential oils were added I think it was like 40 percent absorption in two days or something like that after adding the oils to it it what jumped up to like 86 percent of the nutrients absorbed within 30 minutes that's insane really fast really effective so that's what I love about their vitamins and supplements over anything else is that I know the sources they come from are good and organic another whole food source and I know that they are working more efficiently in my body and I'm not just wasting money on something that's literally being peeled away so so pray for me you guys we got to get these numbers up in order for me to deliver at the birth center which we were so excited about so it would be awful to have to change those plans again obviously be kind of a whirlwind so as long as I can get my numbers to go up I know about eating iron rich foods somebody told me to eat liver out of the question not doing it sorry vegetarian but not even that I feel like even people who eat meat think livers gross so I can't do that but I will be taking my vitamins and possibly adding in an extra iron supplement too that's what's going on lately our next appointments in three weeks so I told them they could just check my levels then so either I'll have some really awesome news about Young Living supplements and their efficacy or we'll have to keep working on it but I am no doubt my iron usually dips in homes wreck ups we'll see but we love you guys so much and we are so happy that you're subscribed and you are hanging out with us and doing in our family we will talk to you Monday [Music] remember
