got Iron?

Yesterday Hannah and Calvin went for their yearly Dr apts. Hannah weighed in at 39lbs and 45inches tall. Calvin weighed in at 25lbs, poor thing has lost a pound. I am wondering if he will slim up and be skinny and tall like his sister. Hannah failed her Iron test and is anemic. Surprise Surprise....Like mama like daughter. I have suffered from Iron deficiency's for years, so this doesn't shock me at all. What does shock me is amount of money you have to shell out to get her the proper Iron supplement. Why can't she just swallow a horse pill?...just kidding:)
This afternoon we are signing on our house. We are pretty excited still. We wont have Internet for a while there so I wont be able to update as often. I will still update though.

Anne-just a thought, but MK was really low on iron at her one year appointment and I started adding milled flax seed to a lot of her foods (flax seed is pretty high in iron). By her 18 month check up, her iron had skyrocketed and her doc was impressed that we were able to raise it through diet alone! Plus, flax seed is much cheaper than the supplements!
