Love feeling Mathew bouncing around in there. This time around I know my baby is growing proportionately because his kicks and punches are stronger. My belly continues to grow which is such a relief. I notice his sleeping patterns however they have been changing here and there which puts me in a panic since I am not feeling him when I should feel him. The good ol' cold juice trick works every time when I start getting nervous. Yesterday, I got blood taken to check my TSH levels to make sure that the decrease in Synthroid (.75 mcg to .50 mcg) brings my Levels back to around .2 and not 0.037 (which in the beginning of pregnancy and HCG hormone levels that is Normal). I do feel a difference and I continue to feel good! Monday i have scheduled my glucose test! Can't wait to get that out of the way.
I have not started any swelling in my feet and ankles this time around which again proves to me things are going well this time. My ankles were so swollen with Connor, even though "normal" in pregnancy, I know it was not normal for me.
I have less than 100 days left... not really sure how many days since we did not schedule my induce date yet. Hopefully only 91 days left and I hold this Little Baby Boy in my arms.
One day at a time...

 | Comment from pbc910 » Posted Nov. 6, 2015 10:55am Good luck on your glucose test! My endo thought I would have to go up a lot with my thyroid meds but the first part of this pregnancy really helped regulate my thyroid. I only just recently went up in dosage. |
 | Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Nov. 6, 2015 10:47am So happy to hear everything is going well. I have been swelling horribly this time. Hope your glucose test goes well. Sounds like you're on a really good track!! So nice getting under 100 days and down in the double digits :) |
