I had my second prenatal checkup yesterday. The results from my bloodwork had come back. So my hcg levels are normal which means only one baby! I'm actually a little relieved. I big part of me wanted twins but I also understand how much more work it would be! The bloodwork also revealed that my platelet's are at only 100 already. argg. I was really hoping that this would not be an issue with this pregnancy. I'm frustrated with myself for not ever going for my follow up bloodwork after Lily was born though. My Dr suspects that maybe my levels never returned to normal after lily and that right now its not actually pregnancy related. But we have no way of knowing because I never did my follow up. Silly me. So for now I have a standing requisition for montly bloodwork to monitor my levels. We won't do anything about it unless my levels go below 50 and I'm really not sure what the intervention would be at that point. She said something about steroids (yikes) but we haven't gotten into the whys and whats of it.
In other news. I got a prescription for diclectin yesterday! Wow, i feel so much better!! I drank coffee and milk this morning, something I haven't been able to do for weeks without running to the bathroom! I look forward to eating! And I can get stuff done! So now I need desperatly the get the house under control. I've been managing the basics (with lots of help from Lawrence and Tasha) but the clutter is starting to take over! Time for a major cleaning!! It just feels so good to not be sick!! Thank you Lord!!
