Thyroid Update

When they did my blood work when I found out I was pregnant, my thyroid levels were low. So they brought me back in for additional bloodwork since this could affect the development of the baby. Well, those levels came back lower than the first, so my midwife sent me to an Endocrinologist. Nate and I met with him on Monday of this week. He was super thorough and decided he wanted to do some additional blood work as well. He called yesterday to let me know that my levels were all within the normal range for pregnancy. He said it was normal for those levels to flucuate while pregnant. He wants me to follow up in six weeks, but he assured me that my thyroid would have no affect on the baby. Yeah!
We have a super busy weekend ahead. Jack has a baseball game tonight and if they win he has two games tomorrow along with Ben's game. My oldest brother Patrick is graduating from Law School tomorrow so Nate is in charge of baseball duty while I head up to Athens.
Have a great weekend!
