Two-Thirds October 23, 2006
There’s not too much excitement happening around here these days which I consider a good thing. I reached the 26 week mark yesterday, so I’m two-thirds of the way there (knock on wood).
I know 40 divided by 3 is not an even 26, but I’ll be induced at 39 weeks if I manage to make it that far. I don’t think I’ve mentioned that before, but it’s due to my Lovenox usage. You can’t have an epidural while taking Lovenox, so one approach is to stop the Lovenox at a specific time and then induce 36 hours later. Then you have the option of an epidural while not forgoing the Lovenox for too long.
I know a lot of people count pregnancy time in months. I still count it in days. Each day is a little milestone. Each week is a big one. 26 is amazing to me.
I still wake up most days and have to take a moment to realize that I truly am pregnant. It’s the opposite of what happened after my miscarriage. Then I would wake up, and it would take a few seconds before I realized I wasn’t pregnant anymore.
You would think that it would have sunk in by now, but I’m still having a hard time believing that this is really happening, that it’s not just a dream. I guess it is a dream, though, isn’t it? I just hope no one wakes me up.

Congrats on 26 weeks! That’s terrific. It’s a dream come true, that’s for sure. I’m just so happy you’re getting to live this.
I have to look at the picture, which I don’t do often, to believe that I actually was pregnant and that the twins just didn’t appear in a cabbage patch one day. I think that its dream, dream, dream for a while, a hard reality, and then back to dream.
26 weeks is fantastic! Congratulations.
For what it’s worth, I look at my 2 year old and think the same thing all the time– “Is he really mine? Did I *really* have him?” HOLY CRAP!
it is a dream but what a great dream to live! 26 down not much more to go
26 weeks! Wow that really is a milestone. Hmmm… I just found out I am pregnant, good high beta, doubling numbers twice, and ultrasound confirmation and yet I am absolutely convinced it is not there. Convinced that it was either a mistake or that I will miscarry shortly. Generally I believe that at my next appointment it will be all gone. I was hoping this wouldn’t last long. Perhaps I will just have to deal with it?
26 weeks is great! After everything you have been through I can understand why you count the days. One regret I had with what could be my only PG is I didn’t stop and try to take it all in. To this day I still don’t feel like I was ever PG. Sometimes I have to take a breath and look at the photos so that I know I was.
Take care and I hope that you are able to fell better about things as you progress further.
Dear Amanda, congratulations on that milestone! 26 weeks is great. One day at a time, one week at a time…
Wishing you nothing but the sweetest of dreams for the next 13 weeks and beyond.
26 weeks…it was a dream for me until I saw her, and even then, it was even more of a dream…she’s 20 months old and I still feel like I’m dreaming!
Pretty fun. It’s fun being just 2 days behind you with a boy, too! I like to see how you’re feeling/what you’re thinking!
I’m very happy that your dream is coming true.
congrats on reaching an important milestone!
