We had a doctor's appointment this morning at 8 (early!). We had an ultrasound to measure the baby's growth. Based on measurements from the ultrasound, the baby weighs 3lbs, 9oz. This is within the normal weight range, but is technically a week behind where we should be for our calculated due date; however, our very first ultrasound indicated the same thing. The doctor said it could indicate the due date is a week off, or that the baby is just small, but there is no way to tell for sure. He calculated that the baby will likely weigh somewhere between 6 and 6 1/2 lbs if I carry to term. Everything looks normal and great!
As for me, I didn't gain any weight since the last visit. Consequently, I got a special trip to Chick-fil-A for "second breakfast" as the hobbits like to call it.
There are no ultrasound photos to post this time. We were given two to take home with us, but the baby is too big to fit in the frame now, so it sort of looks like a blurry blob in the picture.
