Second Growth Scan

This morning we went for the second (of four) growth scans at the hospital to make sure Baby D is on track. Good news - right on track! Currently, Baby D is 3 lbs 1 oz, which is exactly what it should be. I was happy to hear that until the technician told me that from now until the baby comes (10 weeks), its supposed to grow approximately 1/2 lb each week. That's another 5 lbs, making Baby D about 8 lbs at birth!

How can I carry around or deliver an 8 lb baby? That seems way too large for someone my size. Let's hope the baby doesn't grow that much or comes a bit early. Fingers crossed!!

(No pictures this time because Baby D was facing the wrong way. Sorry.)
