5. 40 weeks, 1 day-Mar. 15-Overdue


Another milestone met! You are not going to meet a happier pregnant lady than I am today. With Spencer, this was a big, big goal that no one thought I'd end up hitting. My water had already been broken for close to 3 weeks and I was able to get my first round of steroids once I got to this point. Not to mention the hospital staff was very frank with me in saying that they would make no effort to save Spencer before 24 weeks. Not even at 23 weeks, 6 days.

I really feel like I can take a deep breath. But not too deep, because I still have 2 more mandatory milestones to meet!
