Today I am officially 25 weeks pregnant. I woke up finally feeling hopeful…maybe even a little bit excited. The anxiety and worry is still definitely there, but I’ve managed to make room for a little bit more positivity as well. Every day that passes, baby boy will have developed a little bit more. Getting to 26 weeks has always been a soft goal, and that is only one week away now. Getting to 28 weeks is the first ‘big’ goal- I even have a countdown going on the lock screen of my phone.
Yesterday was supposed to be my baby shower in Ontario. I’m still sad that I had to cancel that whole trip- I really miss my family, and there is nothing like Summer in Ontario. But I am also glad that I have the ability to be off work and get as much rest as I can to help try to keep my cervix as strong as possible. I’m nervous for Thursday’s ultrasound, but at the same time I will be that much closer to the next week of pregnancy.
I think going forward, with each day of pregnancy, though there will be stress and anxiety about preterm labour, there will also be a little bit of excitement and hope. I’m hoping that grows with each passing week.
