The Wife was asleep when I got home at 7:30 pm. Poor thing. She's pretty much always tired. I hear a lot of women get that, but it seems a little extreme. I was talking to a friend tonight who recently had her third child and she said she was more tired than normal with the third. So they checked her iron and she had a deficiency. Once they got her some extra iron, she felt quite a bit better. We've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so we'll ask them to check her iron. Or, maybe it's just the normal amount of tired and we just don't know what to expect.

I agree about checking on the iron. That was a big part of my problem.
I didn't do enough homework before we went, so I did't know what was a good level or anything. The Dr. said they checked it with the last tests, and it looked fine, but I thought she said something like 13.5, which doesn't jive with anything I've looked up, but maybe she did a different kind of test. I guess if it (fatigue) doesn't get better in a couple weeks, we'll let the Dr. know.
