Today is Hump Day Bump Day (HDBD, for short) and I decided to include a special one:
You may have noticed a couple of things: 1) the asterisk next to 24 weeks. I'm 24 weeks according to LMP, but I was measuring ahead according to my last OB appointment. But we're going by LMP just to make it easier and I don't like debating which due date is what.

So much has happened since I last checked in! Lots and lots of great news!
First things first - the major news: surpassing Ethan's gestation loss and reaching viability. To be honest, I never thought I would see those two milestones. It's huge. Reaching and surpassing Ethan's lost was very emotional. Reaching viability was equally emotional. This pregnancy finally feels real. I'm going to be a Mommy! M is going
You know what day it is? Viability! Woo-hoo! This is a huge, HUGE milestone! Let's check in on Yoda Bear:
According to babygaga.com:
It's another week full of exciting developments for your magical growing baby!
Just take a look at the checklist for this week: 1) ears: done; 2) fingernails: done; 3) (if you have a boy) testicles: taking their 3-4 day trip from the abdominal wall to the scrotum; and 4)

It's Hump Day Bump Day! Wanna see what I look like now? Let's gooooooooooooo!
I started tagging my photos for fear of trolls. I don't think anyone would do that since I'm also well-known in other areas of the web. Still, the prevalence of Catfish and the like, I have to be a bit cautious.
No weight gain at all! Remember when I said my weight gain has been less than

I'm in Week 23 of pregnancy! Let's see how Yoda bear is doing!
According to babygaga.com:
Your little womb hi-jacker is starting to kick their break-dance party up a notch now that his/her ears are registering sounds from the outside world!
The sound of a phone ringing (or that catchy ring tone), a thunder clap, or a car honking will actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent

I was looking at onesies last night. I wanted one specifically to be Yoda's "Coming Home from the Hospital" onesie and others for fun. I saw one that caught my attention. With the recent Trayvon Martin verdict, it struck a chord with me. I have a nephew, he'll be 15 this year, and he reminds me a lot of Trayvon. When the verdict was announced, I couldn't help but

There's an asterisk because I'm officially measuring eight days ahead (23w1d). However, I'll keep the gestation weeks based on LMP (Last Menstrual Period).
According to babygaga.com:
Congratulations! You’re now housing a human who weighs nearly a pound and measures nearly a foot in length!
Your wee babe's perfect little pancreas (a super-duper organ that produces hormones and aids in digestion) is now making its own hormones for your baby's body and brain!

"Keep up the good work. I know you had to sacrifice a lot for this pregnancy."
Those were the words my OB told me yesterday. I met one really crucial milestone and that was surpassing the gestation where I lost Ethan. Yoda is measuring ahead and it's just a huge relief. I haven't really put a lot of thought about this pregnancy and everything I'm sacrificing until he made that
Today is Hump Day, Bump Day or HDBD for short. I'm feeling hella lazy today so I'm not sure when I'll make my way to the bathroom for a picture. Instead, here's a picture from last Friday when I was about to have a lunch date with a friend. I'm really glad I'm past the 'Fat or Pregnant?' stage and my bump is finally bigger than my booty.
