This week!

I have a lot on the agenda this week. This morning I got blood work drawn at Quest to see how my thyroid levels are doing. I hope to get those results by the end of the week. I did get to briefly speak to the perinatologist last week who was able to put my mind at east about a few things that I was worried about from the OB visit. I am going in tomorrow morning to the perinatologist's office for a blood test. This is the test that I wanted from the start after doing some research but my regular OB wasn't sure if it worked for twins. Instead of researching it he wrote me an order for a test I didn't want and sent me on my way. Luckily, the perinatologist agreed with me and she is having me come in for the test that I wanted. I don't know exactly what else the appointment will entail.
On Wednesday night, I have an appointment with a new OB. After giving it some thought, I don't feel right staying with the doctor I saw last week without at least trying a new office to see if I would feel any more comfortable. I guess I will see how that goes. I am hesitant to switch because I am not sure any place would be better, but think I at least have to try.

Yesterday was Mother's day. I remember last year I worked on Mother's Day and was very sad when a caller asked me if I had any children. This year, the day marked 11 weeks of pregnancy. I am very grateful for this because I will never forget the pain of wanting a child and not being able to get pregnant. In the next few weeks, I am hoping that some testing comes back normal and I get to see the babies again in an ultrasound. After that, I might be ready to share the news with more people (hopefully around the first week of June).

I don't really have a plan after this week. I hope to get more info after tomorrow morning and then hoping to really like the new OB Wednesday night. If feeling crappy is any indication of a healthy pregnancy, then the babies must be doing well. I will update more when I know more.
