Well, I just got back from the appointment with my general practitioner. And, not much happened actually. I told her I thought my thyroid needed to be tested and she agreed so I got the standard TSH blood draw. We talked a little about the pregnancy but she encouraged me to see the OB so that’s what I’m going to do. She’s willing to handle my thyroid during the pregnancy but if I do end up seeing a perinatologist through the OB, chances are they’ll handle the thyroid issues.
I guess the next step is to call the OB. I just don’t want to miss anything here, you know? This is all very scary. I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to be healthy. More importantly, to keep the baby healthy. It’s still so early and so much can still go wrong.
I’m pretty nervous and anxious about the pregnancy. I was feeling this way on the way to the appointment this morning and I happened to glance in the rear view mirror and catch a glimpse of my six-year old son. He was munching away on an Eggo waffle, bobbing his head to the music on the radio, looking out the windows…. generally cheerful with the state of things. I felt myself instantly relax and a smile spread across my face. Because him? I got. And I sure do love him.

Holy crap…this what happens when I miss a day or so of blog reading.
Very exciting time (and nerve racking time) for you and your little family. Best of luck.
Happy Thanksgiving.
