Whew!

Well, after worrying for 2 days straight about the sweet little baby girl in my tummy, I had the diagnostic ultrasound this morning and everything is good. She has a strong heartbeat, the fluid levels are good and they have ruled out placenta problems. She is, however, on the small side of things - especially for one of my babies - weighing in around 5 1/2 lbs. That means that even if she gains a pound this week (like she is supposed to) I am going to have a baby that weighs less than 7 lbs. at birth. This, friends, is monumental for me! Chloe was 8 lbs. 1 oz. 8 days early, and Morgan was 8 lbs. 13 oz. 8 days early. Quite a difference - so here's hoping for an easy breezy delivery next Wednesday thanks to a much smaller baby, a body that has experienced much worse - twice in the last 4 years, and, of course, the wonder of epidurals! Yipee!
