Definitely a little miss

I'm sure the doctor just did the ultrasound today to ease my mind, but apparently there is nothing to worry about. Gaining only 3 lbs is just fine, because Sprite is great. Head down, face up (but that can still change). She's already 5 lbs 5 oz. At 34 weeks.

And a possible average of gaining another 1/2 pound per week.

The math there says she could weigh over 8 lbs at birth.

Okeedokee. I know that is not the end of the world, and larger babies have been born, but 7 lbs was still plenty for my I'm-not-saying-it-out-loud-on-the-internet to handle, thankyouverymuch.


Wanna see some pictures?

Here's her foot. That's my belly button she's kicking.


And here are her squeezy squeezy cheeks. Apparently my kids will all have squeezy squeezy cheeks. I can handle that.

I cannot wait to put a darling headband with a big bow on her head. And fru-fru dresses.

My daughter.

My first was 7 lbs. My second 8.5. Either way it hurts but they end up coming out eventually. ;) That's what I'm here for, encouraging words. No need to thank me.

My first 2 were the same size! I won't tell you about my little girl, though. Yeah, never mind.

Those pictures are so exciting! Very soon you will get to decorate her in PINK!

My daughter was 8lbs even, Jack was 8lb 10oz. Regardless of a number, they're were still little bitty. Don't sweat it.

If she's still face up when you go into labor try rocking side to side on all fours. It's totally awkward.

Mine were 6lbs 14 1/2ozs and 7lbs 6ozs. I guess that is tiny by today's standards...at least that's what the nurse said 10 years ago when the first was born. You'll do fine, no problem! Awesome ultrasound pics!

My husband showed me that 19 pounder not too long after Jane was born. Can I just say that it still makes me shudder?

Congrats on the for sure a little girl!
