The skinny:

[judecorp]

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!

49th % is good... Greg's been in the 50th% his whole life (except at birth, go figure). Now you can relax with no worries. :-)

Honestly I don't know where I was hiding 9 lb of massive baby with either of my kids. ha ha. ;-)

I'm so glad everything looked good today! :-)

[somerandomchic.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!

And people really need to shut the eff up about you being "small." This is such a lesson in "women carry differently." Maybe your other organs are just more willing to get out of the way so your baby belly doesn't stick out as much? Who knows?

I'm really happy to hear this!
