Weird, weird, weird pregnancy

My pregnancies are always so strange. Everything has been going well, but slowly I have been measuring a little bit smaller than I should every time I go into a doctor's appointment. This is a pretty normal trend for me and I have known that at one of these appointments I would have to get another ultrasound to check the baby's growth.

Then yesterday as my doctor is measuring the belly growth his eyes bug out a bit as he is looking at the measuring tape and then he repeats the measurement...and repeats the measurement. Apparently not only was I measuring WAY too small, but I was smaller than I was two weeks ago. So, I was off to an ultrasound. First, the baby is growing very well. In fact, the tech put his due date a week earlier because he is bigger than he should be. The "guestimated" weight of what he is right now is 6 lbs 9 oz, though she said that these guesses are usually on the large size and can vary up to a pound either way.

So, everything is going very well, other than that my poor big baby is stuffed into a too small uterus :-)

I'm glad your little boy is getting nice and big. He is probably pretty comfy and not ready to come out as much as his mom bribes him too...haha.
