27 Weeks and Thyroid Results

I got results back from my glucose test and they were normal, YEA!  However my thyroid results were higher than they wanted.  This happened before when I had my initial appointment in May.  I asked the nurse to have a doctor review before they put me on thyroid medication.  The doctor said it was important now that the hormones I was producing, the baby needed as well now for proper development.  So I started taking a very low dose and hope it all settles.  My first reading was 3.13 and when they retested it was 2.08 and my latest was 3.45.  They want to see it under 3 during pregnancy.  I never had issues with Joey but thyroid disease does run in my family so it doesn't necessarily surprise me.  They will want to retest in 4-6 weeks to make sure my levels are where they should be.

How far along: 27 weeks

Weight gain/loss: Next appt is October 19th

Maternity clothes: Some of my shirts are starting to tent at the bottom.  Need to get a few more for work to get to the end

Stretch marks: Using the cocoa butter and oil

Symptoms: Nothing really new.  My nose is doing much better.

Sleep:  Good.  I started sleeping with a pillow between my legs and it just makes me feel more balanced.  I get up to pee 2-4x but I can usually fall back to sleep.

Best moment this week: Spending quality time with Joey.  Steve is out of town for a hair color class in Chicago so it's just me and my little boy.  He's just so sweet :)

Gender: Unsure this week.  Part of me hoping for another sweet little boy.  I am starting to wish I knew!

Belly button in or out: Staying in so far

Food cravings:  Fruit.  And oatmeal which isn't surprising because I love both of these when I'm not pregnant!

Movement: Baby was actually more active this week.  Maybe because he or she is getting bigger and there is less room.

What I miss: Not getting out of breath by just doing normal every day activities.  I remember this with Joey too.

What I'm looking forward to: Eidson Thanksgiving is this Saturday at my Aunt Karen's house in Canada.  It will be nice to see everyone and visit.
