What 24 Weeks Feels Like

So we made it…24 weeks today.  I woke up both elated and nervous.  I was in the hospital at 24 weeks last time…for the second time.  I'd had the steroid shot to mature my babies' lungs.  This time, I have avoided the hospital all together.  I haven't had any of the complications that hinted at my hospitalization last time either.  It's an eery feeling to think that maybe, just maybe, I will be avoiding the ICN and bringing home my healthy, happy baby boy.

Our Happy Valentine's Day

I'm quite delayed in typing up this post, and I have been meaning to post this for 3 weeks now!  I need to get better about staying on top of this thing.  Life has stayed quite busy for us lately, but we're getting there!

On Valentine's Day we went in for our follow-up ultrasound and check-up at 18 weeks.  The best news we got was that the abruption that I had at 15 weeks was no longer visible on our ultrasound.  Additionally, with no bleeding, the doctors were fairly confident that it was gone.

On top of that, we found out that we're having another boy.  I had told Cam the whole time that it was a boy!!  Mommy instincts were definitely right, and there's no doubt about it!!
