GL week 10.2

There is a heart, flickering deep inside. My platelet count is low, but Dr Google indicates this is normal during pregnancy (and indeed it happened last time, too, but no one said anything about it). I have gained a whopping three pounds in the past month, which means - considering my food intake - that the first trimester must be equivalent to running a marathon in terms of the calories it consumes. I thanked the heart-flicker the best way I knew how - with french onion soup and an enormous cupcake.
