24 weeks! (okay, really almost 25. Slacker.)

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!

  1. 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...
