The skinny:

Estimated weight: 4lbs 7oz (49th percentile)

There was plenty of fluid, there was a VERY head down baby with hair on her head, and everything looked good. We don't have the "official" word from the midwives or anything but the ultrasound tech said everything looked great.

I honestly don't know where 4lb 7oz of baby is hiding in my little gut. I think I might have a tilted uterus because the tech found baby's butt to be higher on my abdomen than the midwives have been measuring. I can't believe there's a baby butt so high in my gut and I can't even tell.

It was a good time and definitely worth it. We got to fall madly in love with our kid all over again. What I thought was a stray foot poking me was actually her knees and elbows, which would explain why it hurts so much sometimes.

Yay baby!

YAY! :)

Your kid is just like half a pound smaller than mine was when he was born! WOW! :)

Yay for extra ultrasounds - I LIVED for those when I was pregnant! :)

Wow, that is amazing! Ditto for my friends hopemcg and meglett - their gorgeous daughter weighed 5lbs. On the way home I kept saying, "Wow, almost as much as Quinn." So strange that there is THAT MUCH BABY hiding in there somewhere.
