I never thought I'd fall for that word. But we've reached 28 weeks. It's all just cruising from here on out.
Womb, don't fail me now.

fantastic news!
and yes, i have some lavender balm (it's always in my purse) AND i also grow my own. i'm not really hippy, but i do have some hippie-ish tendencies! there's also a b.ooster juice across the street from the hospital and mr. jb already knows what i like from there. the best thing about being in a hospital in the big city is that everything that i could possibly want is within walking distance!
Whoohoo! That's amazing.
YAY! Congrats!
Hooray for getting closer to a big healthy baby!
::cheers:: Way to go, Bruiser!
WOOHOO!!! Congrats on making it this far! I know that Bruiser needs to stay in a while longer, but it is a happy day knowing that if something did go wrong, that there is a very high likelihood that he would ultimately be just fine. Yay!
Wow, already?! That's wonderful!!! Your on the home stretch, sister. :)
Yeah, someone pointed out this very fact to me - that I'm getting close to the same point you're now at. And it had not even crossed my mind but you're right - it does feel good to coast.
That's incredible. Just - wow.
I can't wait to get there myself. I think it must be a sigh of relief.
Happy 28 weeks!!
:)
I haven't been on here in such a long time... great news! ...and thanks for the David Bowie video :)
This is great news! Yay!
