I don't mean to terrify you ladies...

But I'm going to pull the trigger here and start/post a birth story thread at the top of the board.  The front end of our group is now at 29 weeks and I was just lurking on PAIF on TD and saw that a former June 15er gave birth to micro premie twins a couple of weeks ago at just shy of 26 weeks (both are doing well and fighting).  So ...*sigh*... it's time.   Hopefully it will be a while before we start posting in it but, it's going up.

Well that was needlessly painful. First I accidentally announced it to the whole damn site and then, when I tried to redo it, my computer decided to freeze every time I added a gif. But there it is. *GULP*

Well HOLY CRAP. We haven't finalized our nurseries! We haven't had showers! Our babies lungs are still developing! But... these babies wait on no one I guess. Here's hoping most of our babies DO wait a lot longer, though!

Here's hoping all of our babies stay baking for many more weeks. But thank you for starting this.

There's also another lady on there who was due June first who gave birth at 27w5d I believe to a beautiful baby girl and she is doing great as well. So crazy.

That's crazy scary to think about! Fx that babies keep baking!

[sugarkissed]

No, no, no… this can't be happening already. I'm so far from prepared to enter the world of 2U2!

None of you babies even think about coming out for at least 2 more months!!

It's coming so fast! Every night before bed, DH says he wishes she were here now. And I'm like, WTF dude...first of all, we want her to be in there all the way to the end for health reasons and second, have you seen our to-do list???

Yeah. Pretty much all of that! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

I reassure myself each night before bed that my pregnancy is going swimmingly and there is no reason why the baby would pop out so early. Yeahhh...Wooossaahhh....

Ending on a positive note, my sister had my niece (who is healthy albeit annoying teenager right now) at 26 weeks; and, a friend had her daughter (again, happy and healthy teen) at 29 weeks.

That other website that shall not be named told me on my ticker change day that if my baby was born now it would "probably survive." I'm not sure how I would reword that, but I definitely wouldn't phrase it that way. Dickfucks!

[kemdupuis]

Insanity. Let's all keep these babies in for a while!!

If I was to have this baby the same point in my pregnancy that I had DS, I'd be giving birth next month. That thought has been strange.
