Viability

I never thought I'd get here, but it seems that if our baby were to be born now, he'd have a great chance of surviving. I feel so relieved. Of course, I'd like him to bake for several more months and be as healthy as possible, but it's good to know that he's got a good chance now. He's about 13.5 inches long and 1.5 lbs. Way to grow, big guy!

Turkey is very comfortable where he is. He's excited he still gets a few more months to suck his thumb if he wants to without hearing about it.

And with every passing day, you'll know he's getting healthier, stronger and bigger! Isn't that comforting? YAY for you!!!

I told my MD Monday that I was glad to almost be 24 weeks, for this very reason. I know that babies have a great chance to survive once they hit "X" week - and if I had go go into labor now, then so be it. But... our sons will have many more weeks of warm, watery bliss before that will happen. Lucky boys!!!
