24 Weeks with Baby JJ

24 weeks already!?


We spent this last week at the beach.

Baby should weigh around 1-1.5lbs by now, even though I've gained like 18. 😅 Also, this week marks viability, where there is more than 50% chance of the baby living after birth. Not that I'm planning on having him anytime soon. Keep growing baby JJ!

I have another appointment coming up this week.  At my last appointment my midwife mentioned that I can probably be induced at 39 weeks due to history of precipitous labor (less than 3 hours start to finish). I'm a little nervous about induction but also relieved. I definitely have worries about how fast this labor might go. I don't want to have my baby in the car on the way to the hospital! We'll see how things look as my due date approaches.

Otherwise, everything has been looking good. At my last appointment my uterus measured a little big. My midwife said we might have to have another ultrasound eventually to check his size if I keep measuring ahead.

I went to a specialist for back pain which has seemed to help some. I am supposed to go back about once a month until after birth.

I have to do the glucose test for gestational diabetes at my upcoming appointment. It's not fun but hopefully it'll be fine just like the last two times. Wish me luck!
