So the 24 week appointment went just great! I had to talk Jeremy into not going because he was at school which is like three towns away and it seemed so silly to have him drive up here for a 10 minute apt which they literally are nowadays, so he reluctantly agreed finally!
Anyway, about baby- He is measuring right on schedule and is currently head down! The midwife said at this point he is likely to stay that way so that was a bit of good news. I finally got the nerve up to ask how much weight I have gained, and found out that since they weighed me at my first apt I have only gained 10 lbs. I was stoked to hear that! I will keep the gym visits and healthy eating up and hopefully this pregnancy will be the best one yet!
I was told that regardless of what I am able to keep my blood sugars at, I am not going to be able to birth this baby at the birthing inn, that was kind of a bummer but once I started thinking about it it might not be too bad. To have a baby in the inn you have to leave 6 hours after the birth and that did not appeal to me right from the start. I will be having him at the same hospital as my other two perfect boys and that is going to be just fine. This is a Catholic Hospital and is very easy going allowing for water births and everything so that is all I really need.
Anyway I am surely forgetting a ton of stuff but this is my update for now! Thanks for stopping by!
