Milestone
As of this morning, I hit my prepregnancy weight. I'm thrilled, although I'd be more excited if a) I hadn't been within one pound a week and a half ago, then gained a few, then lost a few, b) if I thought I was still going to be this weight tomorrow and c) if my doctor hadn't decided to lower my thyroid meds.
C) is the big one. Last year, right before I got pregnant, my doctor lowered my meds and I gained five or six pounds (that didn't magically disappear when he raised my dose again) and became a human shaped slug. I became unusually skilled at dropping into an immediate sleep and stayed that way for a good eight or nine hours. Then I'd get up to take care of the kids feeling like I'd been awake half the night.
After a month of that, he retested my blood and agreed that I needed to raise my dose again. That's when I got pregnant and my OB took over.
I've felt absolutely fantastic since I've had Owen, and I'm afraid that it's all going to end when I start on the lower dose. Whether it's a return to "normal" or an actual deficiency, I'm not interested in feeling less awake and alive than I do right now.
