Today it's 20 weeks for me, by my "slow" dates. I've been waiting forever for today. Probably not a big milestone for some (especially the normals), but according to the Canadian government, any pregnancy loss before 20w is legally considered a miscarriage, and after 20 weeks a birth (how horrible to have them draw a line like that!). If little bumblebee dies now, at least he will be considered a baby by the government. I find this oddly comforting.
Plus, now when I'm not feeling well I can go straight to L&D instead of emergency. Again, oddly comforting.
My little scare the other day was somewhat of a wakeup call. I forgot how quickly things can turn bad. Really bad. I don't have the results back from my 24Hr urine but all the sticks lately have been just trace, so it looks like the protein was a one-time deal. BP has calmed down and is back to the "normal" range for me. I've been parked on the couch for the past couple of days. I'm back to taking it one day at a time. Today, I'm not having this baby. I'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

I so hear you on the 20 week thing. 17 weeks 3 days here. HURRY UP!!
20 weeks is wonderful! Day by day is all you can do and still keep your sanity.
20 weeks is a very good thing. Sending love and good thoughts and wishing you scare-free weeks.
Reading along and thinking of you.
20 weeks...more than half way there. Here's to an uneventful 18 or so more:)
Hey, now you can talk in time left, instead of time along.
Well done!
