Yeah I can imagine the sleep deprivation could make us a little cranky and impatient with each other but I want to think of it like we are a team and we'll figure it out together.

Amazing. I'm glad you're settling in with less anxiety. And it sounds like you have a realistic vision of what's to come. I'm glad things are going smoothly, may they continue on this way!

We had one kiddo for 2.5 months and we were old pros at that point. Just know in the beginning you will be tired and cranky and you might fight a bit more than usual. Apparently sleep deprivation does that!

For me, it got easier once I hit 24 weeks.

It scared me too when I read about it but my doctor told me the chances are really slim of catching it so I've stopped being as paranoid now! dublinerinDeutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804856792598440633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-34123705636763828982017-11-17T03:42:09.887-08:002017-11-17T03:42:09.887-08:00Thanks, it's exciting to reach this point!

I hope they are managing as best they can now. <br /><br />I did come across one graph that gave the viability odds beside the chances of the baby not having any health defects so really you still don't want the baby to be born too early! When I talk to her in my belly I tell her to stay in there for longer and keep growing! I had some cramps the other day and worried it was preterm labour but it was just braxton hicks I think (or something I ate)! Haven't felt them since. dublinerinDeutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804856792598440633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-82878607694367225662017-11-16T19:19:29.484-08:002017-11-16T19:19:29.484-08:00Yay viability!

I’m all for celebrating this milestone: we need something tangible to bring confidence.<br />My last pregnancy I spent months being terrified of listeria. I don’t know why; it’s not like I took a lot of risks. But I cried for days because I ate a turkey sandwich. When I got over that I ate some peaches which I found out were recalled. I just believed all the bad stuff would happen to me. Then I read the actual stats on listeria and they are so low, there are probably dozens of things more of a risk. Anyway you sound more level headed. It can be hard to keep perspective when the stakes are so high. I have confidence everything will continue to go great for you. torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-16783369688110161482017-11-15T23:57:19.738-08:002017-11-15T23:57:19.738-08:00I'm so happy you've reached this stage - a...I'm so happy you've reached this stage - although baby definitely needs to stay in there for a while longer! With your trip and then Christmas I'm sure the next few weeks will fly by and you'll be giving us your 30 week update before we know it!Confuzzled Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471749871770054481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-73668027271702531222017-11-15T22:19:49.004-08:002017-11-15T22:19:49.004-08:00This is a truly great milestone to reach, but also...This is a truly great milestone to reach, but also the riskiest. <br /><br />I hope this doesn't make you nervous, but my husband's co-worker went through a terrible tragedy at this point. (Gosh, maybe I shouldn't tell this story.) <br /><br />Anyhow, his wife had conceived a child at 40 years old by IVF. Then she gave birth at 24 weeks. The child survived, but with brain damage and severe problems. <br /><br />I'm so afraid if I get to this stage because there is a chance the child can survive, but their health will suffer. <br /><br />I'll be so relieved when you reach 27 weeks. Your daughter should be through the greatest of any danger. <br /><br />I'm so sorry if this post was a Debbie Downer on such a happy milestone. I'll be much more positive in future ones. I think way too much about all the stages of pregnancy. :/ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656770582077959796noreply@blogger.com
