We Made It!

Yesterday was a big day for us. No I didn't go into labor, and that is why it was significant. Yesterday, I was 24 weeks and 5 days along in my pregnancy. Yesterday is when Max was born. Physically, I have felt fine this week, but mentally it has been a bit challenging. I can't begin to explain the new hope I have that this baby will make it based purely on getting through yesterday.

I actually had my weekly Dr appt yesterday and everything looked good. The definite low point of the day came on the way to the appt. I got rear ended. Thank goodness we have a very safe car. Although the impact was pretty hard and there was damage to the car, nobody was hurt.

I continue to take it really easy and will do so through the next 3 weeks until I get to week 28 (at 28 weeks, the baby's chances of survival go way up). Bas's parents are here from Europe and are a huge help with the house and Max. Next week they will take off for a couple weeks on vacation, headed for the Badlands, Mt Rushmore etc. At this point Elizabeth will begin. She is a Sr at Timothy who will take care of Max the rest of the summer.

We are still coming up with zeros for a girls name...any suggestions???
