Pregnancy after stillbirth and subsequent losses. In honor of my son, James "Jimmy" Elvis 11/15/09, my "littlest angel" May 10, 20101, my first daughter Rebecca "Baby Becca" Lane 10/27/10, and my second daughter Scarlett Burchfield 08/16/2011

20 Weeks!!!
20 weeks!! Look at my Becca-Belly! It's HUUUUUGE!! :):):)
I can't believe this is only halfway. I was not this big this early with either Taylor or Jimmy...I went back and looked at pics and I was not this big until 8 months with Taylor and 6/7 months with Jimmy.
This is gonna be a big baby!
On another note.....I have now officially passed the miscarriage marker and entered the stillbirth zone.
I'm hoping I'll never have to worry about that again, but it does bring me some comfort that at least we've come this far and if the worst were to happen, I would still get a birth and get to hold her.
Morbid thinking, eh? I know I know.
I'm trying to think about how in 4 more weeks she'll have a chance of surviving outside the womb...granted, with a lot of machines and not great odds, but still a chance.
Again, I hope I don't have to worry about that, but its another milestone to look forward to.
When Jimmy died, he slowed down and then stopped moving completely. There was a two day window where he did not move at all but his heart was still beating....I don't expect history to repeat itself, but on the off chance that it does....this time I won't sit around, I'll go straight to the DR/ER.
*sigh*
I love you so much little Baby Becca. I hope all of this worrying is pointless and I'll see you happy and healthy in my arms in February.
