Tired, Concerns

I am 32 weeks and like five days.

Nothing much to report except that I am concerned about my tiredness. Like the fatigue that plagued me to the point of tears first trimester and part of second eased up towards the end of second. Now it is back with a vengeance. It isn't just the normal pregnancy fatigue either, it is that combined with the thyroid fatigue. And still all that combined with the fact that I am not taking my other supplements to help bolster me. The dr's said stop taking all the herbs and stuff, just stick to the iron, the prenatal and the armour. I miss the other stuff like the coconut oil, the thyroid support drops, the B12, etc etc.

I prioritize my day like many other people who have thyroid problems prioritize their days. I know I am sharpest and best in the morning. So when i get to work. I work like crazy double and triple checking to make sure I do everything that needs to be done and don't forget. Cause by 1:30, 2:00 the haze is starting to come down. And a part of my mind and physical body is like okay, cold water, drinking it and on face, caffeine anything to keep me going till end of day

So am I just whinning or do i have a point. Yes my point is, I have to spend time to get my body back balanced the way it was before I got pregnant, cause I have this nagging feeling that my energy is going to flag with all that I have on my plate and that sends me into panic mode.

The only thing is that it takes so much time in a already packed day and plus dr's visits to check blood and adjust medicines to get back to optimal. So what is my plan of attack or even defense (depending on how you look at it).

I am using my gifts. To get things as prepared around the house as I can, get meals done, get pantry stocked and rooms together, and try to get that structure I had in place back as much as I an over the summer so that when I do have to go back to work, maybe living in that structure will help everyone not need to do as much to keep it all going.

I envy SAHMs, cause at least if they need to take a nap in the middle of the day they can. hahaha.
Well now that i think of it probably not, they probably don''t get that after the infant stage. Ahhh well being a woman means you gonna work. Isn't that what my grandma Mimmi say, "God has given you all the blessings of your heart baby, but you gone work for that house and the people in it!" Truer words have never been spoken.
