OMG!!!!

The highly anticipated ultrasound occurred this morning. Is everyone dying to know just how big Baby Brother is? I am not telling. Just kidding! Now we only saw the ultrasound technician and of course she can't/won't tell us much, and ultrasounds can be up to a pound off either way, but.... she said he is 5 lbs 12oz at this point which puts him in the 80th percentile. Yikes!!!!! Just for comparison Lucy friend Haley was 5lbs 11oz at birth (she was two weeks early but I still have 5 and a half weeks to go!!!)!!!!!! The important thing I can't remember is, do babies gain 1 pound a week from now to the end or is it only half a pound? I am going to go look it up in the pregnancy book. I am very anxious for my midwife appointment next week to discuss what they think about his size!!! (The issue/worry is that Lucy had trouble getting out and she was 8lbs 2oz so if he is going to be bigger there could be a problem.)

I have to go get Lucy down for her nap and look up the rate of growth for the baby now. I should probably clean up this pig sty a bit too.
