Another one bites the dust...

1. 20 weeks, 5 days-Oct. 29-Gestation at which my water broke with Spencer PASSED!

2. 24 weeks-Nov. 21-Viability PASSED!

3. 30 weeks, 3 days-Jan. 5-Gestation at which Spencer was born PASSED!

4. 37 weeks-Feb. 20-Full term PASSED!

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


I am full term today. If you'd have asked me 37 weeks ago if I'd make it to this point, I'd have probably done two things: say probably not and pass out at the thought.

Physically, this pregnancy has gone swimmingly well. Emotionally, its been really rough getting to this point. You know scary things can happen in this world, but until you experience them its just someone else's problem. You might feel bad for them, but you are secretly so grateful it isn't you. That is kind of how I felt during this pregnancy. I experienced something terrible and scary in my pregnancy and with Spencer's NICU stay. I was terrified to repeat it. (I feel the same way about driving the stretch of I-40 where my step-mother had her car accident. It almost makes me hyperventilate.)

I am so grateful to have made it this far. There are no words.
