I've just hit 30 weeks in this pregnancy. Initially 30 weeks wasmy goal but now that I looked at on my own blog what Emilia looked like around 30 weeks, I now realize that I do need to keep this pregnancy going as long as possible. I pictured a 30 week preemie was going to be a huge baby (compared to a 25 weeker like Emilia) but looking at the pictures from July 2011, I can see how small the baby is still.
Any way, this time around, I got into the third trimester, which I skipped entirely with Emilia. Each passing week since 25 weeks was something to celebrate.
So, does Emilia now know she will have a baby sister? I don't know. She rubs my belly and calls it "baby". She also kisses on my belly saying "hi baby". But still, I don't know if she really knows what's coming. Regardless, I am sure she will be very upset the first few days after the arrival of her sister.
Emilia was born on May 31, 2011, at 25 weeks and 5 days in gestational age. She came home on October 21, 2011 after spending 143 days in the hospital. Today she's a thriving, happy baby who continues to amaze us every single day. This blog records the journey of our miracle baby.
