A much longer post is forthcoming, but for now I just thought I'd note that on Sunday we hit 24 weeks, aka viability day. I harbor no illusions of this being some amazing safety zone, but there's something to be said for the notion that were I to go into PTL at this point, someone might try to do something. Hooray?
To celebrate, I updated the belly shots page with images from 22 weeks 1 day and today, 24 weeks 2 days. Apologies if they appear sideways -- I'll try to fix them later. And I'll try to do them every 2 weeks from hereonout.
I also have my 24 week appointment today in about an hour. I'm not expecting anything momentous -- I assume it will be the usual PIAC, step on the scale, BP check, fundus measurement, heartbeat check. I think my sugar drink test is next month. Fun.

A box of rain will ease the pain And love will see you through
About Me
- K @ ourboxofrain
- Greater Boston Area, MA, United States
- P and I got married in the summer of 2005, three years after we got engaged. We started trying to conceive two years later and were incredibly lucky to succeed on the first try. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be, as there was something wrong with the baby's heart and it stopped beating. Miscarriage is super common, but we were still shocked it happened to us. This is our story -- a story of loss, trying again, and life in general.

It is nice that you have hit that milestone. I like the new belly shots.
Reaching v-day is something to celebrate. Even if you're celebrating very, very quietly.
Love the belly pics! You are so tiny!
And I felt the same way about the V-Day mark. Something to celebrate, but not, if you know what I mean?
Congratulations on reaching that important milestone. It's definitely a biggie.
Your belly pic looks great, by the way!
Boring, routine OB appointments are my favorite kind. Hope you are feeling well - and you look wonderful!
I'm so happy for you that you go to this milestone!
Congrats on getting this far!
Ooo sugar drink test.. made me reallt active for about 1 hour, then got so tired I could barely function.
Congrats on getting to v-day, it means you are that much closer!

Yay for 24 weeks! I love the belly pictures. :)
I hit 24 weeks this past Saturday and I agree, it made me feel good just to know that there is a slim chance things could work out right now.
Congrats...and the new belly shots are cute
Congrats!
congrats! I can't believe you've come this far...it seems just like yesterday you got your bfp!...or maybe that's just to me :) I'm sure you are feeling like this has lasted a lot longer :)
It's funny how superstitious you can get about milestones. When I first got pregnant, I just wanted to get to 7 weeks, or longer than my prior pregnancies lasted. Then I just wanted to get to 12 weeks, so the risk of M/C would go down. Then I just wanted to get to the big ultrasound, so we could make sure baby was doing well. Now, I just want to get to 24 weeks so we're viable. Craziness! Glad that you've safe and sound at 24 weeks...can't wait until you're at 40!
