Week 23

HAPPY V-DAY AVERY!!! Today I'm 24 weeks and it is what they call "Viability Day," which means IF Avery were to be born she has a 50% better chance of surviving a preterm birth. Doesn't really sound like much to celebrate since this would NOT be a good situation, but it does mean she is growing and becoming more of a little human being in there. It is just another pregnancy milestone and there aren't too many after you hit 20 weeks and find out the gender.

Well, this week was awful, but it wasn't her fault! After two night classes and a stressful and negative 50 hour work week I am burnt out and need some time to recharge my positive energy...lol. Derek is busy all weekend so I will have plenty of time to read a book, watch a movie, and just think about nothing. Not a lot new going on in there as far as I can tell...she was 1lb 5oz at our ultrasound last week, so she's getting big! I feel her kicking all the time, but it seems like every time I try to let Derek feel she stops. She is a stealth baby. Other than finally looking obviously pregnant to strangers and, more importantly, the people I work with, not a lot has changed this week!
