tired...still tired

This week has been very tiring. I realize deep down inside that it won't necessarily get any better after our child is born but it has hit me pretty hard. The nausea is starting to subside so I am definitely thankful for that. Next week I go to the thyroid specialist to see what they can do for my thyroid. My doctor said that would add to my fatigue until I get that more in line with where it is suppose to be.

My friend Sarah found out that she is pregnant too!! She has an EDD (estimated due date) of May 11th. It will be fun to have someone to go through this with.
More details to come next week...we are patiently waiting for October 6th to arrive so that we can see/hear the heartbeat!

Have a great weekend...more news soon!

PS The other posts were from a website I was going to use to blog until I found this one which I like better. Enjoy!

More tests...

What a beautiful day out...it is about 75 degrees and sunny. We should all be outside instead of working :) I have been feeling really tired and still pretty nauseous throughout the day...I am hoping as my first trimester comes to an end in a couple of weeks that, that will subside. I found out from my doctor last week that my thyroid is having trouble keeping up so that could be another reason that I am feeling so tired all of the time. I went for more blood tests yesterday and will need to see a specialist during my pregnancy. It was pretty scary at first when you don't know what they will have you do but from what they say it is a pretty easy fix. I will have to have a blood test once a month to make sure that it stays in the normal range.

This week I also started to go to a chiropractic that specializes in prenatal care. I went to the chiropractic throughout most of my childhood as a wellness measure and I am looking forward to my care with Dr. Heather Yost. Chiropractic care is known to help with making the labor and delivery as well as the recovery time go more smoothly!

Our First Appointment

Jason and I had our first doctor's appointment yesterday. They made my official due date April 18, 2009. It seems so far away but I know that it will be here before we know it! At our next appointment (at 12 weeks) we will get to hear the heart beat. Everyone says that is one of the best experiences so I can't wait!

I am still feeling pretty good overall...nausea at times and tired but nothing too bad. I have only got sick once so I am counting my blessings!

My new nephew and niece are doing great and it is fun to watch them grow in just a few days! As the old saying goes...they grow up fast :)

Another niece...

My sister Becca had a baby girl on Monday at 12:15 a.m. Zoe Noel Thiele. She is so precious and has soooo much dark hair...she looks just like my sister.

I am still feeling good. I am in New York visiting my sister, Megan and her family. Now the family will await our addition in April. Our first doctor's appointment is next week, that should be exciting.

Keep checking back as we add more details about our pregnancy. As always feel free to offer comments as we go along!
