Ok little man we have made it to 23 weeks and 6 days. According to The State of Michigan tomorrow you are considered "viable". To me it means nothing because several weeks ago when I was given the option to discontinue pregnancy I chose not to. Since then I have not gotten any more bad news and hope for that to be the case your remaining 15 weeks in utero. You have a good heart with no defects, you have two functioning kidneys, and you are swallowing appropriately. Keep up the good work!! We are not sure about your hands and arms though so next time we see you in an ultrasound can you please show us your hands and arms? You should also know that you have a mommy, daddy, and big sister that are anxious to meet you, along with several other family members.
This week you have turned into quite the acrobat. We are able to sit on the couch and watch you move from the outside of my belly. I don't mind when you keep me awake night, just know that I will have to keep you awake in the day by drinking coffee. Tuesday I will meet with the NICU team to get any questions answered and a tour in case you need a little help when you are born. I am hopeful that since we will be so prepared you show us that you are in charge and not need any help.
Stay strong little man. We love you.
That's how my little guy was. Sounds like he's off to a great start. Keep kicking, little man!
