VIABILITY DAY!
Today is the first day that if I went into labor and had to deliver my Drs would do everything in their power to save baby. ((((sigh))))) I am so happy this day is here.
That said baby is under strict orders to stay inside and grow and grow and grow for another 14 weeks. Mommy wants a healthy full term live baby! Amazingly I feel fairly good about actually making it to full term, it no longer seems like a pipe dream with little chance of happening. Of course I am still nervous about it all. I worry like any mother-to-be does who has an anxiety disorder and knows the risks and complications that can occur even in "normal" healthy women, which I guess is to say I worry a lot.
I am reminded today of my sister's first pg. I remember like it was yesterday her getting to 24 weeks and me being so excited about the baby being viable. She was high risk from the start and prior to conception they gave her a 25% chance of her losing the baby at any time in pg. I remember the conversation like it was yesterday me congratulating her on making it to such an important day and her dashing my hopes saying that she wouldn't want them to perform life saving measures on my nephew at this point. I was devastated! I had no idea how she and her partner could make a choice like that. But now I more fully understand. It is not the choice R and I would make, but it is one we understand.
The last 24 weeks have been wonderful and I am really looking forward to what else pg brings. I am truly enjoying it, even with the nervous moments and anxiously awaiting today. I promise to make R take a belly pic tonight so I can share it with you guys. My belly is more round now and everyone who guesses gender thinks it is a girl. Other than that nothing new to report, so happy viability day my baby! May you have many many more healthy weeks inside me.

Hey - I can't find your e-mail address. But, I can promise you - I will probably post on the nest if I get a BFP. So - you will know soon enough.
If I get a BFP, I will be telling them on Sat. All of my sisters will be together for one of my sister's baby shower.
So, check the nest. If I get a negative, I will post about it after my beta on friday.
And yes, the wait is killing me :)
I'm so happy that you've made it this far. Gosh time flies. I feel like you just got your BFP.
Congrats!!!!
(Baby- Now stay in there and GROW) : )
Congrats on making it to viability!! That is a big relief. I hope that the little one continues to stay safe inside until you are ready.
