I got to see the endocrine specialist today. He has 2 offices, but of course I can't get into the one that is 20 min from my house, I go to the one that is 52 minutes away (and that's before traffic/accidents at the tunnel). But, he is a civilian, so that's a perk.
I found out that my 25 mg dosage is too small so he bumped me up to 50. He reminded me that my thyroid is supporting the baby as well and my dosage will only continue to increase as the pregnancy goes on. My 'high' bloodwork at 10.86 can go up to 100 or 125 he said. So I won't be shocked if I see that on an upcoming lab. I also have to get 4 blood tests every 4 weeks, then return to see him (at the far away office).
I'm hoping this issue will help me with my quest to see the same OB every visit. I dont' really care who delivers me, but during the prenatal care I don't want to re-explain this issue (and my tailbone issue) to every Dr. that works there!
As for Natalie news, she is DEFINATELY 2. Everything is by herself, or her way, or it's a HUGE battle. She's in full on MINE mode as well. I'm hoping it's a short phase (ha).

sorry to hear about all the bloodwork you will have to have done in the upcoming months. But at least they caught it and are getting it under control.
And with Natalie's stage right now, I remember it well and it didn't last too long for Lucas. I had a more difficult time with 3.
Know what's worse than blood work????????
