Viability

.
The babies have reached 24 weeks, the threshold of viability. If they were born today, they would have a 50% chance of survival. And, that number increases by more than 2% per day over the next two weeks. While we are still months away from the date when I would feel comfortable seeing these babies born, I am so grateful that they have made it to a point at which they could survive outside of the womb if something tragic happened to this pregnancy. One step closer to bringing home two healthy babies!

I'm right there with you guys! I hit 24 wks on Friday, and while I know that means "likely chance of baby" I'm still not settled on the full forcast being sunshine with no chance of rain.
