No baby today!

I say things like it is - and there is no baby coming out of me today. Woo hoo! 33 weeks 1 day pregnant. Woo hoo!

We had our growth scan today (always nerve wracking) and she grew. Yay!! Not as much as between 27 and 30 weeks, but she still grew. At 30 weeks 1 day, the baby was averaging 27 weeks 1 day - so she was exactly 3 weeks behind on her growth. Today, at 33 weeks 1 day, she was averaging 29 weeks 3 days. Her weight is 3 lbs 1 oz (1377 grams), and that is also ok (not great, but ok). She was the 5th percentile for weight before, and now she is the 3rd percentile. Our doctor (the MFM fellow) was good with everything. All the dopplers and everything else looked good, so she is pleased. Keep on keeping on.

Obviously, there is not much to do in regards to the growth. At this point, she is just a really small baby. Perhaps when she is born we will have more answers (and perhaps more questions) in regards to her growth and size. At 36 weeks, for us to get back to the 5th percentile in weight, she'll need to weigh around 4 lbs 12 oz, which is a lot of growth in 3 weeks. So we'll see. Luckily, our next growth scan is AFTER Brad's boards (1 day after, but it's still after), so it looks like we will make it to then.

Yay!! No baby!!
