Week 11

So I heard from my doctor earlier this week about my bloodwork.  Everything was normal, she said except my thyroid levels were low (consistent with hypothyroidism) so she sent me to an endocrinologist.  There, I gave more blood and talked wtih Dr. Shaw (easier to type than endocrinoligist :) ).  She said it is pretty normal for a woman to develop hypothyroidism during pregnancy, though I could have had it before but was never tested for it.  Since the baby doesn't develop the thyroid until week 12 my thyroid is working 30-40% harder and has a hard time keeping up.  So, I started taking synthroid this morning (at 5:30am since I have to wait at least an hour before eating) and hopefully this will help with my always being cold and exhausted.  I am going today to have an ultrasound of my thyroid just to make sure I don't have thyroid cancer (which according to Dr. Shaw is unlikely but she is just taking precautions since I do have bumps on my thyroid).

Other than that things are pretty quiet.  I had a tough time with nausea yesterday but with crackers and water I was able to get through it and get some dinner down.  I can't believe I am 11 weeks already.  It seems to be going by quickly but I think that is because we are counting weeks...I do have 29 weeks more to go which sounds like alot!  I hope you all are well and miss you all very much!
