I am not terribly over worked or anything like that... And if I am it is usually my own fault... :/

This is similar (MUCH MILDER but similar still) to how my body was reacting when I had Sean.... Shortly before I had him I would work myself up into being soooo nervous I made myself physically ill... To the point where my doctor gave me a medication that controlled my lack of sleeping and my nausea... Basically it put me to sleep... :/

What scares me is after Sean was born was when my thyroid went crazy... I have never in my life experienced so much anxiety/ panic for no explained reason... The mental things my thyroid has done to me have by far been worse then any of the physical things in my opinion... I can deal with weight loss/ gain... But feeling like something is wrong with me or my baby even though there is nothing physically showing it. And sitting in panic on the potty because I am sooo worked up about something that you don't even know what it is that you are LITERALLY ill...

I am hoping that much of this is my own fault and that tomorrow I can prevent it... I avoided coffee all together today... But still wound up feeling terrible... But I only drank one glass of water which I usually drink like 5-6... Still not the best but better then just one... Tomorrow I think I am going to try to pack a lunch or something and hopefully avoid being out much more then I need to be for drop off and pick up of boys so that I eat lunch at lunch time not 10-11AM or 2-3PM...

There is also the chance that the flu shot could be causing this as well... I just have to ride it out I suppose... I just don't want to it is terrible uncomfortable...

I cried... Several times when I saw her 3D/4D pictures (the tech had a bit of trouble cause she was wiggling) she is beautiful... Like her brothers <3

I've only had one bad episode with my thyroid, and it was when my medication needed readjustment. I had too much in my system and literally had panic attacks. I never had one before and haven't had one since. Scary shit, too, especially when driving. :\

So... if it's the same or very similar, I can see why you'd be freaking out. Can you get to the doctor to see if they can check your levels??

My levels were checked at the beginning of last month. And they came back marginally high which my doctor said was normal for pregnancy... But he said it could be what was causing the minor attacks I was having last month (they were mild and only once in a great while not nightly like these have been)...

When my thyroid first started having problems was right after Sean was born and was misdiagnosed like 4 times... When they finally diagnosed me with Hyperthyroid it took forever for them to get the dosage right.. 6-7 months... And then my thyroid decided it was broken and couldn't make enough to manage my body anymore... So it turned Hypothyroid... (And I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditus... Which is suppose to go away) but at 18 months postpartum they tested me and my body still couldn't make enough. My endocrinologist told me that it was just probably because the beginning my thyroid was sooo high that it literally overwhelmed my thyroid and broke it (it was so bad I was taking 4-5 pills 5 times a day... at one point waaaay outta whack)... Not to mention it took a good month and a half to be diagnosed. But the panic attacks that it brought were HORRID... I cried for hours out of fear of something that I didn't know what it was... And the depression when it switched wasn't fun either... But I'd take it over panic/ anxiety attacks...

I never had attacks before my thyroid went out... Heck I never got depressed before that.... I could literally be sad or mad about something go to bed and wake up and be a-ok again. I miss that... Now I will wake depressed... :/ and stay that way for days... It is usually the worst when I forget my medicine and take it late rather then on time... O_o but there has been no excuse recently... I've been good about it...

Someone suggested B12 vitamins since my energy and my mood has been affected... But I am soo horrid at remembering medications.. It took me nearly 2 years to get use to my thyroid medicine... And I am still bad about my prenatal (remembers to take it brb... TOOK IT lol....) adding another pill to that regiment is only going to help me if I take it... and well... yeah lol....

But the good news is I feel a ton better, sickness and anxiety wise, this morning so I am going to try to finish up getting some things together. I need to eat though... hrmm... what to eat...

I'd blame the coffee. That's exactly how I get if I have two cups during a day. /lightweight coffee drinker. But my body just can't handle the caffeine. If I'm getting tired, especially while pregnant, I just nap. I don't want the caffeine etc.

I have to take pills multiple times a day. I keep them in my purse, and I keep an alarm set on my phone so I don't miss them. Perhaps you could try that Jazzy? I do cranberry, folic acid and estrogen in the mornings at 8. Then at 2 I have another estrogen pill, and then another again at 8 pm. Used to have a shot at 5:30 but I finished those last Saturday. (: I NEEEED the timer otherwise I would always be off when it comes to these darn pills! Luckily for me they're really small so if I am out and need to take them I don't need water etc like I do for the cranberry pill or folic acid.


Ewwwww rotting lobster. Why is it always when you're dealing with something gross that they get into something? Kids...they have their timing down.

I had an ultrasound today to check my lining. Anything over 10 is good...she wrote in 11.9. Which is quite a bit more than last time. I remember we had to push the transfer back a day or so because my lining was only at 9 something. I start progesterone inserts tomorrow and should start shots really soon too. And in two weeks...I'm flying to New York to get pregnant. Talk about scary.

Scary indeed! I know you said no triplets, but I don't remember if anything was said on twins. Is it best for all at this point if one embryo takes?

I'll be the only non-pregger. :P

I would do that Mellie if Sean would stay the heck out of my purse.... I have to take my thyroid meds on an empty stomach and my prenatals on a full one (remembers again to take them...) ... The b12 would probably be the same as the prenatal needing to be taking on a full stomach...Unfortunately, my eating schedule has been all outta whack lately the only meal I eat on time is breakfast... Then I am hungry again at 10AM and again at 2PM and then I often skip dinner.... If I wasn't pregnant I could take them all at the same time cause my stomach is not NEAR as easily upset as it is when I am pregnant...

As for the coffee... I normally drink "simply smooth" or whatever the folgers sensitive stomach coffee is... Because coffee and I have always had a love hate relationship lol... But for two days people were giving me coffee that was full strength/ generic brand and holy cow it effected me... I had one cup of MY coffee yesterday and I was totally fine by the end of the night... I wish I could just nap whenever I was tired... But I am sleepy everytime I eat and with having to drive everyone everywhere there is just no way... I got a short 15 minute nap after breakfast yesterday and a 10 minute nap after dropping off Dillon... But it didn't satisfy my NEED for sleep... Ellie is just draining my energy...

Ohhh *squeeee* Mellie is going to be a preggers soon!!!!

Chi... Only for a short time, I'll be rejoining the ranks of the non preggers soon!

Or so you think Chi! lol

Twins are okay by them. And I'm relatively okay with twins as well. I worked out like a stupid pregnant lady when I knew I was pregnant but didn't know they were twins. When I started my pregnancy with them I was a size 7. I was so proud of the work I had put into that...lol. But that lasted all of like a week and then my belly started to appear. But yeah, I could handle twins again. But I know I would whine/complain a lot. HOWEVER! It's guaranteed that if I get twins daddies will be ordering me to get pregnancy massages. Which sounds quite nice. (:

Hey everyone, Mommy of two here.
I have a beautiful 4 year old girl, and an adorable 2 year old boy.

Welcome Auspicious :)

Hey Auspicious. Welcome (:

I was up until after midnight last night decorating cupcakes. >.> I'll take pictures and post them later. They're for a cupcake competition at the kids school. They look AWESOME.

They do look awesome! We were up until 2AM making Sean's ghost costume so he could get into Zoo boo free today... I need to upload pics sometime soon but I am tired :P

I still need to make costumes. I just don't want to. >.>

Yay for laziness...?

Hope you don't mind me being creepy and lurking around here.
I'm currently knocked up with our first child. ;D

I'll go back to lurking now that I've given my short, one sentence blurb about myself...

Ohhh whatcha doing this year Mellie???

Welcome Lillian... :)

Holy cow we have a lot of preggerness going around!

Welcome new mummies!

This mum is exhausted and needing sleep. :o

Jaz: Oh, thanks. :) I definitely noticed quite a few tomatoe sauces around these parts. I see you're due in November! That's coming by pretty fast. :D

Chi: Get your sleep, Mama~

Yup a little faster then I'm ready for.... I need to finish getting her room ready... I am hoping we can get a good amount done today to reduce some of my worry... All of us seem to be well rested enough that we shouldn't have any excuses! :)

Oh! That sounds exciting!
Are you just moving furniture in? Does her room have some neat color schemeing? c:
I'm awful with color schemes, so we'll probably just make everything a single color.

Her furniture has been in there for a long time. :) probably 5-6 months lol... And yeah her room is purple pink and yellow... I just need to put away her droves of clothes... But what I was referring too is that my husband and I need to work on evacuating the squirrel who has taken up residency in the attic space above her room >.>;; and blocking it's entry ways into the attic... lol... I refuse to clean more when there is a rodent running around up there!

lol. Squirrels.


Lilian, I love your baby counter! I had an email that would get sent to me about weekly from one of my surro baby daddies that would tell me how big the baby was in relation to foods. It was totally amusing. He loved it because baby was just getting more and more delish every week! lol

I get those... Ellie was the size of a honeydew last week :P

yum. lol.

I've been really wanting honeydew and cantelope but there was a big break out of Listeria in Colorado in relations to them... And it is really dangerous.... So I am scared to buy it now... :'(

Melody: Oh thanks! :) I enjoy it too. but really because I can't tell what 4.7inches looks like without something visual. . . ;

Jaz: Oh yes! I heard about that. I stopped buying all cantelope after I heard about it. I'm not sure if our state grows it's own cantelope, but I just want to be safe. I heard most states in the country get their cantelope from that one farm in Colorado so... I'm just avoiding that. x.x
And I really don't care for cantelope that much anyway... unless I'm craving it, which is rare.

I remember hearing about that too. On the plus side, ANY fresh produce here is ridiculously expensive so we're mostly buying apples and oranges now fruit wise. I hate it, but I'm also not going to spend $6 on a melon. O.o
