Wonder how long I'll actually keep the every day thing up?

I had diarrhea last night and this morning.  I wonder if this is a bad sign?  I have been prone to spells in the past months because of my metformin, so hopefully this means nothing.

I keep looking for bad signs.  Why am I such a pessimist about this whole thing?

I took my 5 nieces to Chuck E Cheese yesterday.  All I could think was, "OMG, what have I done?" the whole time I was there.  Then it spiraled downward into "You are too fat to be pregnant" and "Do I really want kids at all"?    Hormones are AWESOME.

Hubby has been cooking most of the week.  Such a sweetheart.  Wonder how long THAT will last?  I still can't believe I'm pregnant.  I get worried when the "full" feeling is absent.  It comes and goes now, but it's always present in the late evening.  I wonder if this is the food effect pushing on my uterus?

I got a call from Dr. S' (my normal doc) nurse.  It's official!  The hcg test results show me at 4 weeks since conception.  (At least, as of Wednesday.)  That makes sense as we had a little rendezvous on June 10.  It's kind of odd to know the actual date this baby was conceived.  I promise that, unlike my mother, I will never brag about this to the kid.  How embarrassing! Heh.

My thyroid levels have shot up.  Pre-pregnancy we had it down to 4 something.  It's currently 7.7.  Needless to say, we're upping the dosage of thyroid meds.  I'll stay on Metformin until the OB tells me otherwise.  Since it took us 6 years and the only thing that has changed in the past year is my thyroid and insulin, I'm guessing those are the hint.  I really want to stay on both medicines.  I know the thyroid will stay for sure (Is it being so high right now a risk of miscarriage?) but the Metformin is up in the air.

I saw a photo of eggs benedict last night on "The Colbert Report", I thought of vomiting.  Wooo, you're gonna be a fun baby!

I should have an OB appointment shortly.  I was kinda urked when the nurse said "You have diabetes, right?".  Nuh-huh!  Doing my best to keep from it.  I'm insulin resistant.  She replies, "Oh, I'm sure you'll get in very soon".  What a punk! Hehehe
