The gestation that we lost Brayden (our second). Somehow, I knew that we would make it to this day. Not like the entire pregnancy so far has been building to this day, just that maybe I "knew" this after we passed the 16 or 20 week mark. So, today hasn't been so bad.
The rest of this pregnancy is completely uncharted territory. There are points at which that terrifies me...and there are points at which I'm excited about it. Yes, really, excited. I have been a bit more on edge today than the past days, but I guess that's to be expected. Tomorrow I will be the most pregnant I've ever been. I'd say that's a pretty big milestone, right?
Anyway, I'm doing okay. AND a lot of that has to do with all of you. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your words of encouragement really do help. And all the prayers...they help too. I don't know what I would do without my blogger community. Much love to all of you :-)

sorry you even have to know the pain of loss though...
Congratulations on reaching this milestone. I'm sure you're still just as anxious, but please know that all your stalkers (a.k.a. readers) are cheering for you!
I've been reading and reading but I have very little time to comment. However, I needed to comment here.
I'm so proud of you. You made it! Tomorrow will be such an exciting day. It's a huge milestone for you and the little one! I knew the TAC would work for you. I just knew it.
(((hugs))) I'm so incredibly happy for you. Before you know it, she'll be here screaming and that's deffinately something to be excited for!
definitely a huge milestone! i've been keeping up with you, mostly from my blackberry, just haven't had a lot of time to get on my computer and comment.
i'm so glad that you're really excited, hopefully that will help lessen the stress you've been feeling. and becky's right, tomorrow and all the days after this are gonna be awesome.
you have given me a lot of hope i didn't think i would be able to have again. of course, i would also have to have a TAC if i ever get pregnant again, but that's ok with me. you're living proof that pregnancy after loss can be happy and positive.
Hang in there and take it day by day. We are here cheering you on!
YAY! You've been on my mind all weekend, had to work again YUK!
That's great, I will continue to pray for you and your beautiful little one.
Hang in there, I'm here for you. (((HUGS)))

Much love to you too. If my words put you at ease, I'd speak all day. I know they help, but they only go so far. You have to do the rest and you're doing a great job momma.
I'm so glad you've made it this far. but don't stop- keep going!
That is a HUGE milestone. I am so excited for this pregnancy and just know you will make it to full term. Congrats on getting here. Of course it is understandable to be on edge during this time.
I am so glad that you have reached this milestone. I pray, and believe, that thing will continue to go well. God bless!
I'm SO happy for you! I know the fear doesn't end on one particular magical day (if only), but this IS huge. Hugs to you, and prayers and very good thoughts heading your way.
