24 weeks. Another milestone achieved. One more down on this (what seems like) awfully long p-word journey. 50% of babies born now would survive. Not great odds I know but also some little piece of mind that doctors would work to save my babies should something go terribly wrong now.
We ordered and got the border for "the room" in the mail yesterday. We decided on this bedding. This weekend we'll probably go looking for paint samples but are thinking about either a green or yellow. The bathroom these babies will use is already painted blue so we don't want the room blue also.
So much to do, and we've waited a long time to do it because of my fear of jinxing things. But the realization that because we've got twins that these bugs could be here in a short 12 weeks or so really struck me the other day. We have got to get going on things.
Next OB appointment in 2 weeks with another ultrasound.
Next mile marker -- 28 weeks.
My journey through years of fertility treatment and miscarriage

About Me
- Lisa
- I am 42 years old and separated from J after nearly 10 years of marriage. We had been trying to have a baby for more than 6 years. Through years of fertility treatments and pregnancy loss our journey had been way too long and I had lost nearly all hope that it would end happily. That hope grew again as each day of our twin pregnancy passed and on August 25th, 2008 our world was forever changed. Not long after our boys were born I found myself a single parent. Even though single parenthood with twins is damn hard I wouldn't change it for the world. Now, nearly two years after separating from J, I'm dipping my toe back in the dating pool. NOTE: Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Congrats on making it this far! The bedding is darling.
happy 24 weeks! Cute bedding
Hooray for viability!!! I've got 2 more days to go in that countdown.
P and I were considering that bedding too -- I love it and think it's fabulous (P got himself very set on Patchwork Pooh, so that's what we're doing).
YAY!!! Step by step...its a beautiful thing as you get one step closer though, isn't it? HUGS!!!
