24w
I made it!!!! I can hardly believe that here I am at this HUGE milestone of 24 weeks. These babies suddenly have a fighting chance to make it in a world outside my womb.
Of course then I got to thinking, that means only 16 more weeks until my official due date. That is 4 months. I highly doubt I will make it to 40 weeks and I highly doubt my dr office would even let me go much past 38, but that is still a potential of 4 more months of feeling progressively worse than I do now. Not that I want to have these babies prematurely by any means, but things have just got ridiculous lately. I had some bad pelvic pain before... but it just keeps getting worse! And my back! Sitting on my couch is no longer an option. Since Saturday, I have found that I can kinda make it a bit in our glider, maybe two hours a day. I no longer sit at a dining chair while I eat. Nope, I sit on an exercise ball. Most of the day is spent laying in my bed because that is the only position where every single muscle of my back is screaming out in the agony of constant fatigue and spasm.
At least I have an awesomely sympathetic 4 year old who likes to share his favorite stuffed bear with me to make me feel better and, when I actually do attempt to leave the house, he points out every bench or seat he sees and tells me, "Mommy, you can sit there and rest."
