24 Weeks: Viability Day

24 weeks is an exciting and reassuring milestone in the world of pregnancy- it is the "official" time when a baby born prematurely has a good chance of surviving. Not that we want Evie to make an appearance ANY time soon (stay put baby girl- we've got lots to do for you still!), but IF something were to happen after this point, we can breathe a little easier that the odds are with us.
Things are going well here for Eric and I, we're planning where we'll be moving to within the next couple months- should we buy a house right away or do an apartment for another year? It's a big decision! We're weighing our options and are hoping to have everything ironed out by the end of January. I go through various stages of sheer panic, mild anxiety, and ignorant ambivalence about our upcoming move. Hey, what do you expect from a pregnant girl with her emotions on a constant roller coaster? ;)
I'm feeling pretty good, although I've noticed activities like getting dressed, putting boots on, and general bending over are becoming more difficult. Tights/nylons are my nemesis, and it's only going to get worse as winter wears on! I'm still riding high on the 2nd trimester "ease" though, so I'm enjoying it while I can.
Baby shower planning is in full swing, and we're going to register at Babies R Us this Friday- I'm so excited!! I thought maybe Eric wouldn't care, but he actually wants to come and is excited too. We'll register at Target as well, but I'm scared to go there this soon after the holidays, so we'll wait at least another week. AND, I made a little cloth diaper registry at an online store. I don't know if anyone will be interested in buying us cloth diapers, but since we're using them, I at least wanted to put it out there. Then people can see how cute they are if nothing else. :)
Click here to check it out- the event name is Eric & Liane Roy and the password is "babyroy." Have a great last week of December!
