This Monday, I'll start the 22nd week gestation. It's all good, so far. I still feel great.
Hitting 22 weeks makes me think of Rebecca K, at The Road Less Traveled, who, in a horrible turn, went into unstoppable pre-term labor towards the end of the 22nd week of her pregnancy with her daughter Lillian. Subsequently they learned it was likely due to an asymptomatic infection. Update: they're near completion of an embryo adoption! A beautiful process forging wonderful connections.
Rebecca's story is yet another reminder that tomorrow isn't promised. All I can do is love this child right now. And that I do.; more every day.
Yeah for you, you are so close.
ReplyDeleteKeep growing little glowworm :) Glad you are feeling well and time to post a pic!
ReplyDeleteLove and love and love that little one. You're over half way there now!
ReplyDeleteThe last line made me a bit teary. Amy, I'm so glad you are here. And, yeah, while I know there are no certainties, it sounds like things are going just wonderfully. And I'm so happy that this is so.
ReplyDeleteYep, all we really have is this moment. Good thing it's a nice one!
ReplyDeleteWow, 22 weeks! You are catching me, as I am only 23 weeks!
ReplyDeleteRebecca's story has haunted me as well (she was not a blog friend of mine, but of course I clicked over from many of your sympathy posts when the horrible loss happened). I am glad she is moving forwards now, and agree that it is a reminder that you just can't know what tomorrow brings.
