September 5th saw us back at our OB's office for our final ultrasound with baby girl number two. We were there just to get an estimated weight and size so they could decide how big they think she will be at full term and make sure she was developing normally where she was getting so big earlier on. We'd been through all this with Ellie, so we weren't worried, just looking forward to seeing our girl again.
Here's our best picture of her here.
And a video of her opening and closing her mouth during the ultrasound.
You know it's going to be good when about 20 seconds into the ultrasound the technician looks at you and tells you that she has your due date wrong and needs to change it to the right date.
When's your due date?
The 29th.
Of what month?
October.
Oh, I do have that right... So the doctor asks why she thought it was wrong then. This baby is just so big!
Yeah, basically they told us that we have a monster baby, just like Ellie. At just over 32 weeks we were reading online the average baby weighs around 3.75 lbs and is about 16.7 inches long. They estimated that our girl at this point weighed 5 lbs 15 oz - which puts her in the 99th percentile. She's obviously already competing with Ellie as the younger sister, since Ellie was smaller than that at her ultrasounds. Next time we'll aim for the perfect 100% I suppose.... I still have hope that just like Ellie she'll be longer and leaner and not just a chunk of a baby, but either way she'll come and be perfect and we'll be so excited to meet her!
