Today I'm 24 weeks and 5 days.
Next Sunday (Feb. 6) I'll be exactly 26 weeks. Exactly how far along I was when I delivered Dane.
Only 1 week and 2 days to go.
I think of it like hiking...Bracken tells his scouts to pick a point they see far away and hike to it. Then pick another point that you think you can only make it to there and hike to that. Do that enough and you'll get to your goal.
So the goal right now is to get past Feb. 6. Then I can breathe a little easier.
Then past 28 weeks. A milestone in fetal development. I don't know the exact statistics but the chance of survival jumps WAY up and the risk of cerebral palsy and other complications drops down after the 28 week point.
Then hopefully 30 weeks.
Then 36.
Ultimately 39..but I'd take a little earlier as long as she has been in there long enough to come home with us.
I told myself I would be better at taking belly shots since I don't have any from my pregnancy with Dane. But I haven't been good but here is a start.
This was last Sunday. This is why I don't really love belly shots...I just think to myself. "And I walked around looking like that all day?!" Sad thing is this is better than the usual day of ponytail and totally hot maternity mom jeans. Oh well. I'm loving feeling the movement of our baby girl in that belly of mine.
Oh and we're up for name suggestions. So far Kamri always suggests Tree and Hayes suggests D.W.
"Mom, it's neat, it's the letter D and then the letter W"
I tell them we'll add them to the list.
Just hopefully we can come up with more so they end up towards the bottom.

You are amazing!! Your kids are so lucky to have you as their Mom! I'm sure that Dane & this little girl are enjoying their time together.
Families are such a blessing & I feel blessed to call you 'sister.' We'll keep you in our prayers!
Skye you are so cute! I love your little belly bump! Good Luck with everyting!
I think you look darling.
I will keep my fingers crossed the the prayers coming that you don't see this little girl until 39 weeks!
I feel the same way about belly bump pictures. You feel like you look pretty good, and you got all ready and then you look at the picture, and it's kind of a let down. And where do you put your hands? On your stomach? At your side?
I'm 34 weeks today. I totally keep track too.
Every day is a big deal. I'm glad you are celebrating them all!!
So much fun. I love all the little cute things your kids say. Hope you come to cedar soon.

You look so cute pregnant! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you make to 39 weeks! What's wrong with the name Tree or D.W.? haha that's funny! How about Nicole or Piper? JK I will think for you.
Congrats!! I'm so excited for you! You have come so far already...hang in there! What about Danika for a name? I knew a girl with that name and loved it. Kind of similar to that sweet angel of yours. Praying for you!
You really look so cute, Skye! If you ever want to feel better about yourself ask me to send one of my HUGE pregnancy shots over. Good luck with everything and your family is adorable! You are definitely in my prayers!

You look beautiful! :)
Congratulations Skye! I'm so happy for you! I didn't know! I hope things go well for you, you deserve it! And...we're expecting too! It's taken almost 4 years and I never thought it would happen again but it did! He's another little man. We're excited! Due July 8th :)
Hope everything continues to go well!
Geez Skye... I bet it is a lot like hiking. I really like that analogy. I hope that she keeps cooking for a long long time! I remember something that my best friend told me was that I needed to try and enjoy every moment that I was pregnant, because the baby deserved it! It was alive and I was nurturing it and taking care of it while I was pregnant and I needed to enjoy it and now worry too much about whether or not it would turn out in the end. I really tried to do that, but it's hard. I will be praying for you! Keep thinking positively!
