The university term ends the same way when you're a prof as it does when you're a student. Gets busy, then really busy, then crazy busy and you forget to eat your lunch, and then it just stops.
I finished on Monday. I'm sitting in my office now, wondering what to do with myself.
Drs are pleased that work is finished. Dr Internist yesterday hmmed over whether or not I should be on BP pills now based on that ambulatory test last week, then decided that since my BP was fine when I was relaxing, and now I have more time to relax, that I can just be monitored for now. Hopefully I'll make it to that sixteen week mark yet.
Heartbeat was good and strong at Dr ObGyn's this morning. She is just the nicest doctor- I went in with a few requests and she was great- we have an extra ultrasound scheduled in a few weeks to touch base on the growth, and an appointment with my MFM to get the hep.arin thing straightened out, and so on. I feel pretty good about it.
M started telling friends yesterday. I wanted to keep it secret for awhile longer but he's been bugging to start telling people. I didn't want to tell myself but I told him if he wanted to he could, so the word is starting to spread. I don't want to talk to people about this pregnancy. I don't need advice and reassurance and all the platitudes that come with it all. I don't really mind them knowing, I just don't want them to talk about it with me. I'll be in hiding anyway, so that's fine.
Oh, platelets have bounced back some- 121 now- which is well away from the danger zone I was in before.
So far, so good.

I can understand not wanting to tell people. It's good that you can take it easy, looks like things are falling into place. :)
So glad about the platelets and that things are looking up in general. As to what to do with yourself, I hope you'll be able take some well-deserved relaxation and self-pampering time.
Keep it your secret until you feel ready. You have every right in the world to hold it close.
I don't think I will want the advice or platitudes either. I will just want to hide for nine months! You're doing well Heather. One day at a time xo
Yeay for bouncing back. :)
