27 Weeks and Counting

It's hard to believe that I've been here at Cedars for more than 3 weeks now. The time goes so slowly. We're so anxious to get to at least 28 weeks (although now I'm also thinking abut getting to at least 28 1/2 weeks, because my OB is on vacation and that's when he gets back). Every day between now and then seems like such an obstacle. But even getting this far is an achievement and improves our baby's chances dramatically. Even as the days seem to drag, it doesn't feel like I've been here this long. The days run into each other, making it difficult to have a normal sense of time passing. I look at the calendar and I'm amazed at home much time I've lost (and how far behind I continue to fall on my schedule to work on my dissertation!).
