Well, we've made it to the point where Knox is considered viable! If he were to decide to make his appearance now, they would put him in the NICU and give him a chance. This was the week that I've secretly been waiting for. I can't begin to imagine going into pre-term labor, but knowing that my baby would have a fighting chance gives me more of a sense of peace about the rest of my pregnancy!
I don't really have anything fun to report. Oh wait, yes I do! Clayton was finally able to feel/see him moving around! We were laying in bed one night last week and I told him that Knox was moving around like crazy so he put his hand on my belly and watched very intently and all of a sudden (right as Knox kicked) he said "Right there! I saw it! Did he just kick right there?!" And he had! It was so wonderful to watch his face light up. I know it's so much harder for this to all seem "real" to him because he doesn't get to experience what I do every single day.
I guess that really is about the only exciting thing. My next doctors appointment is next week. And I have to take my glucose test. I've been panicking about that and trying not to eat so many sweets. (: We also have to have a discussion about my hips. She told me a few months ago that my hips didn't seem to be growing. Considering I don't have any hips to start with, she was a little concerned about them not being big enough to deliver him. We haven't talked about it anymore, but I was looking in the mirror yesterday thinking that my hips looked almost inverted compared to my ever-growing belly. So I whipped out the measuring tape, and sure enough-they haven't even grown a centimeter! So I guess I'll ask her about that. Okay, that really is all. Here is my 24 week (and a few days) picture!
Clayton needs to lay his head on/by your belly...that's a sure fire way to get himself kicked! haha Almost every time B would do that Tyler would kick him in the head. It was a sign of what was to come...
