I haven't really been posting but I have been reading up on everyone's sitch. So many new folks too. Just keeping up with the reading is a lot. I laughed when one of the moderators chastised someone for all the navel gazing that goes on here. For all the navel gazing I think people really have gone to a great deal of effort to try things - some with good results or sometimes not.
I am currently in a big funk. To my everlasting delight we found that we are having a little boy and his preliminary amnio results are fine. That only leaves a few of the weirder things that they are looking at. I'm no longer worried about that. My endocrinology office is terrible at communicating - they keep sending me for blood tests and won't discuss results over the phone. It is maddening. Finally, I wrote her an ugly gram about her office communication. I don't even know my official working diagnosis: could be a pregnancy related hyperthyroidism OR it could be Graves disease (auto-immune d/o). I would need to know the lab results to know what she is tending toward. Of course, I also asked about dietary changes and all and she said there was nothing I could do. Since that appointment I have done some reading and there is a lot I can do. I am considering seeing a naturopath for some alternative medical advice.
As for H - he has weathered all the preggo worries pretty well, he has been supportive and all that good husbandly stuff. We haven't ML since we went on vacation. My birthday is tomorrow and I am feeling increasingly hysterical over the situation. I consider birthday nookie to be akin to birthday cake - de rigeur. However, I am battling also with the mindset that I don't want the proverbial "milk bone" thrown my way.
H would see it this way - I have been worried, I fall asleep on the couch around 9:30 or 10:00 every night and he doesn't go to bed until 12:00 or 1:00. He has been workign a lot.... Blah. Blah. Blah. I could just scream!
