Milestones

With any pregnancy, especially a first baby pregnancy after multiple miscarriage loss, there is going to be milestones.  With me they were...
1-positive pregnancy test
2-positive blood pregnancy test
3-first ultrasound
4-hearing the heartbeat
5-double digits in weeks
6-2nd trimester
7-feeling the first baby movements
8-first week without needing zofran
9-viability of the baby

There is one that is happening today,  It isn't a cool one like movements of the baby or anything.  This one actually means practically nothing since it is solely dependent on Marsi being due on October 23.  It doesn't take into account if she is born early, late, or right on time.  BUT, it is still a pretty cool milestone to me.  Today marks the official start of the 2 digit countdown to Marsi's due date.  October 23 is 99 days from today and I think that is pretty cool considering how doctors measure pregnancy, it is 280 days gestation.  181 days down, 99 to go.

There are still several milestones to be had.  Entering the 3rd trimester.  Baby dropping.  Hitting 30 weeks. Going into labor!  But, I have been excited about this day for a long time.  It is nice to be in double instead of triple digits...even if it really means nothing.

Going from 280 to 99 and down counting sounds like a really great milestone to me!
