35 weeks! 35 weeks!
Who knew that we would see 35 weeks? I would never have placed money on that, especially when I was sitting in Obstetrical Triage at 31 weeks!
Holy Shit.
I’m almost speechless, but not quite.
I can actually see myself walking out of the hospital on discharge day with our baby. I can see us walking past those NICU doors and not going inside. I can see that picture in my head. After Piper, I was never able to see that. Then with Davilyn, it was taken from us again. This time, though, I can finally see it and it is a clear picture. The faces are not blurred out. It’s us and it’s her and we are all together.
I can see her coming home with us and as we see that hospital fade in the rearview mirror, we are smiling and happy. We are a family of five. Just one couple still so much in love with our 3 little Divas in tow.
Not only did we get up repeatedly when infertility knocked us down, but we bounced back from two miscarriages and have stared another early delivery in the face and said, “Not this time!”
35 weeks…. I know I can, I know I can.

Trust yourself. Trust your body, it knows what to do it always has it was just a bit misguided. Your baby inately knows what to do and you are going to make 37 weeks. You are strong and your baby is too. You are beautiful and your baby is too. You ARE going to do it. Keep that picture in your mind, your mind is stronger than once given credit. You were meant to have a happy ending to your pregnancy journey and you will.
That is great news!! So happy for you! You've made it longer than I did with my first so from here out it's just putting poundage on that little girl!
YEAH YOU!!! Way to gestate that baby!
WOO HOO!!!
