10 Weeks Pregnant.




This week has not been good. I have been so nauseous and have had so many headaches. There are very few things that I can eat that don't turn my stomach and even those few things are starting to not sound good because I eat them so often. I spent the majority of Sunday and Monday in bed while Nathan took care of the boys. I am so exhausted. This pregnancy has been kicking my butt. I am not one to go by the way that you are feeling determining the gender of the baby because my pregnancies with Joel and Colin were both different, but this one has been SO different that I am starting to wonder if it is a girl. That is my prediction at his point.

I took Joel to the doctor on Thursday to have him looked at to see if the mono is gone. My doctor said he looks healthy and back to normal, so that is good. However, while I was there he told me that my blood-work came back showing that I have hyperthyroidism. I am going to be going to see a specialist about it and will probably have to have blood work done quite frequently and monthly ultrasounds to make sure the baby is doing well. It has about a 1% risk of causing birth defects so they just want to make sure everything is looking good. Just add this to all the things that don't go as normal in my pregnancies. There always has to be something off.
