Well, we are now 26 weeks along (6.5 month's) and so far so good. I am extremely grateful for the clean bill of health for the baby especially seeing sick and premature babies at work on a daily basis. I cant even fathom having a baby as early as 23 weeks which is what is now considered viable by medical standards. Yikes! According to the baby books, the baby should be about 2lbs the size of an eggplant. It has been fun watching the belly grow week by week. Starting at 18 weeks I had sever back pain, but that didn't come to me as a surprise as I have a long history of back issues. The doctors allowed for a spinal epidural of cortisone which seems to have done the trick for now. I am still doing yoga, ( I can still do a head stand) and also leisurely playing volleyball on Sundays. We have an ultra sound in a few weeks so we will be sure to update.
