Viability!

So many people would not understand the true meaning of the title to this entry, but to a former pediatric nurse, it brings mixed emotions. I have reached 24 weeks today. 24 weeks is the age of viability, meaning if I were to deliver BB, life saving measures would be performed. But, with life saving measures brings even more mixed emotions and confusion. Needless to say, I'm glad we have both healthily arrived at this milestone! BB and I are cruising through the days. We are counting the days down to vacation, for sure! Today Alan and I picked out our paint color for the nursery walls. Grandpa helped us mix the paint and offer his two cents on the paint supplies and brushes. Our weekends have been very lazy, which is unusual for us during the summertime. It seems in the past 5 years, summer has been filled with various weddings and showers mixed in with frequent trips to the lake. We have squeezed a few lake trips in. We celebrated Fourth of July at DeGray Lake and had a blast, although it was awfully hot! Much to Alan's disapproval, I even wakeboarded. I know. I know. But the water was smooth as glass, and I only stayed up for a few minutes before letting go and safely dipping in the water. (thanks for letting me do this Alan) It felt so good! Sometimes I feel like pregnancy is a prison sentence because you can't do so many things. And, I've also been biking- another "no no." Also, I've decided the water is the best place for pregnant women!
