So I had a Dr.'s Appointment today. It was pretty interesting. Like I have said in the past I have been measuring small and finally the Dr. decided that I needed one last ultrasound to see how small she really is. During the ultrasound they measured and guessed that she weighs 5.6 lbs. That put her in the 17%. Which is low sure, but not unhealthy. They also checked everything else-her breathing, reflexes, all of her organs. All have developed and are doing great. She is just a petite little girl. The sono tech guessed that she would gain another pound and half or maybe 2 pounds. So she will be average when she is born.
Sorry no pictures. It turns out the further along you are the blurry and harder to see what is happening, it gets. I don't know how she could see anything. All I could see where her bones like the rib cage and the femur.
Also my Dr. checked, even though she thought it was too early for it, to see if I have dilated. And I have to 1 cm. Also my cervix is now forward-which apparently is awesome because that is one of the most important things. So I have 4 weeks left until the due date--but who knows when I will really go!

Well congrats on the little baby, maybe she won't hurt so bad coming out! I think that is why epidurals (sp?) were invented. Making 10lb babies feel like a 5lb? Good luck!
Wahoo! You're so close.
