23 Weeks

I thought for sure I was 24 weeks when I woke this morning, can you tell I'm waiting for that marker to pass!

But here's the gold ole chart about viability:

Odds of a Premature Baby's Survival by Length of Pregnancy

Length of Pregnancy	Likelihood of Survival
23 weeks	17%
24 weeks	39%
25 weeks	50%
26 weeks	80%
27 weeks	90%
28-31 weeks	90-95%
32-33 weeks	95%
34+ weeks	Almost as likely as a full-term baby

So we are now ON the chart atleast :) Although I know the chances of baby making it would be extremely slim and worse cause he's a boy. But everything is going well so I need not to worry right... ha!

So update on me... being a normal pregnant woman is new for me and I'm thankful I get to experience, but man is it PAINFUL! Walking for any period of time causes either one side of me to hurt or the other. I also have an issue with like weak legs...one side might sort of catch just right and almost give out. It's nothing that happens all the time. It's normally followed up with pain, yay. I haven't gotten much stretching pain aside from some burning on occasion, but the sharp twinges there have gone away for the past few weeks. Sleeping at night is FUN...not. I get sore so I feel like I'm constantly flipping, which ofcourse wakes me up cause I have about a million pillows that need to move with me, and then I have to pee... so ya not fun. Nathan I also know things around 11pm is party time... sometimes he goes without waking me but I suspect if he keeps this pattern I will be woken by the little bugger nightly. All of his movements are mostly low, Jason has been able to catch a few on the side but the placenta is very clearly in the way. I tried to get Emilie to feel but her patience isn't there..when he's bigger...

I've started washing clothes and putting them away. Summer is surely going to to start taking us away... so I wanted to get things settled some now. But we have a north trip coming up, a small baby shower to attend :), a garage sale to plan, a possible small family outing for a weekend, Emilie's birthday, preschool, etc.
