Well, we had our baby weight ultrasound today. The results are in: 5 lbs, 11 oz. This is in the 12th percentile for gestational age - down from 20th at the last ultrasound a month ago. From the numbers I saw on the ultrasound screen the baby is now more like two weeks behind instead of one. BUT - The baby is still moving a lot and there is adequate amniotic fluid, so with three weeks to go we are not concerned. We got to see the baby doing "practice breathing" on the ultrasound. This is good news as for the lungs. Oh - and the baby has hair! The technician showed it to us floating in the fluid next to the head. So cool. Guess that explains all the heartburn (isn't that how the wives tale goes?).
We are pretty excited to meet our little one. We went to Target today after the appointment to finish out our registry purchases. We got our baby monitor, which I for one can't wait to play with. Walkie-talkies are fun.

That is only 2 oz less than you weighed when you were born.
I can't believe it's only about 3 weeks until I get to meet my little nephew or niece!! I'm so excited!
