Whew... am I relieved to see you, week 24. Viability. It's a milestone that every pregnant woman yearns to reach.What is viability, you may ask? It's the moment in your pregnancy when your baby actually has a fighting chance to survive {with medical intervention} outside of the womb if he/she were to be born early.
The chances of a baby surviving are 50/50 at 24 weeks, but every day/week of pregnancy that passes only increases a baby's chance of surviving a premature birth. I've heard of babies that have survived at 24-week birth and babies who haven't {warning, very sad.} It's just something that I can not imagine going through... watching my baby fight to survive. It's why I walk for the March of Dimes and I am thankful for every day that I am pregnant past this point.
I don't think my normal pregnancy post is necessary for this one. I'm just thankful to be here.

Hooray! I think that link was the motivation I needed to update my blog so people WANT to read it. I am such a slacker and I could really use a pic of my amazing little ones on there. Thanks for the push Jenni! I might be e-mailing you for some tips seeing as you are such a super blogger!
