Been a bit of a stressful week, but it's Friday for all intents and purposes.

Sleep is still being elusive, while exhaustion is not.

I am confused about the setup of DS. Support groups I can find, then I stumbled on just groups, and now I'm not sure what the difference is.

Just still trying to figure out what is "normal" post RAI. Really been thinking about when I last was "normal". I think the excessive sweating started about 3 summers ago - I just attributed it to getting older. I shouldn't really say excessive - but much more than normal for me. I've always been thin. I can't really say when the irregular heart beats and shaking started. Two summers ago I was hiking 13ers and 14ers. Now I get winded coming up the stairs.

Had the little guy's blood drawn to check his thyroid and see if perhaps he is gluten intolerant. Either of those would sure explain a lot. He wasn't very happy with me asking the Ped. to write the orders for the blood draw, but he was a champ while they did it. And he got candy after.

Little girl weighed in at 14# 3oz on Tuesday. Still growing on her curve, but I might ask the Ped at her 9 month check up if we should check her thyroid since I was on PTU while carrying her and she had IUGR.

Please say a little prayer for my SIL and her family as they had a miscarriage earlier this week, and had to have a D&C yesterday. I can't imagine how hard that is, and I just wish there was something I could do.

Weight as of yesterday 95 pounds.
