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:

"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.

I'm at the point where I'm halfway through my pregnancy. I hit the halfway mark two weeks ago, since it's already decided that I'll get my stitches out at 36 weeks.

I've been thinking about Ethan a lot lately. As I approach the gestation week where I lost him, he's constantly on my mind. This might sound silly to some of you but my son visits me. He likes to visit me in my dreams but he often has other ways that he shows up. A few times I swore I saw a spirit of a grown man in my
