amelierose very sorry to hear your news, take care of yourself.
Rainbox that must have been such a relief, enjoy the rest.
noodle 9 flights sound exhausting when feeling on top of the world, never mind when feeling a bit ick. Don't work too hard!
ruck did you decide what to do about your private scan?
oxford if I were in your situation in my company, I would tell the uber-boss. Does she have a family of her own? I just think you need to come clean with her, explain that you want to do your best for the company and your colleagues, it's not fair to your colleagues that you lead the project when you aren't 100% well, but you are 100% committed and will provide support and input into the project as much as you can but you can't lead it. I think chocolate's idea of trying to work from home one day a week might also be useful, especially as the pg progresses. Do you usually work very long hours on top of a 4 hour commute?
I told my boss at work today. I already work PT (3 days 8.30 - 3.30) but I do supervise a team. When I told her I was pg but keeping it quiet until the 21st (scan), she said "I am saying congratulations to you, but inside I'm thinking oh shit, what are we going to do with your work?!". Quite flattering really, I always think I am pretty expendable as a (very) part time worker, so I didn't really think they'd notice when I wasn't there for a year. Next step is for me to have the scan, and then if all is well they want a round table meeting with my team to discuss dividing up the work and planning for me leaving (which will hopefully mean just winding down my current caseload). All very efficient, which is helpful, and no big dramas. This is my third mat leave with the firm, so I was bit worried that they might think I was taking the P, but so far, so good.
Very very tired but like you James I can hardly keep my eyes open during teatime with the kids, and then wide awake at about 9.30pm, and cannot get out of bed in the mornings. Need to get this sorted out!
Added myself to the list.
