A pregnancy post.

This pregnancy has gone by pretty fast. We decided not to tell people until we knew the sex, and it seems like people are still just finding out I'm pregnant! I guess it doesn't help that I show late. It's been an uneventful pregnancy until recently. I had a regular check-up when I was 27 weeks and my doctor commented on how small I looked. Then he measured my uterus and found out I didn't just look small, I measured small. He explained that at 20 weeks they expect the top of the uterus to be at the belly button, which was where mine was at. The following week I went in for an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok. We got nothing but good news, the baby measured average for her gestational age, everything looked normal and my amniotic fluid wasn't low. After the tech finished getting all the measurements she needed she switched to 3D. It was really cool to see the baby in more detail and we got some great pictures. We didn't find out why I'm measuring so small, but we found out nothing is wrong. One reason I'm small could be because my little girl is literally folded in half. On the ultrasound you could see her arm wrapped around her legs, with her feet above her head! Since then I have gotten a little bigger and at my last appointment I only measured 2 weeks behind. My doctor is being cautious and I'm going in for another ultrasound at 34 weeks to check on the size of the baby. I feel great though! Tyler thinks I'm huge and every other week he will look at me and exclaim, "Look my baby sister is getting bigger!" I doubt Riley really gets the whole pregnancy thing, but if you ask him where the baby is he will point to my stomach. He even gives his sister kisses! Hopefully the next 9 weeks go by as fast as the first 31 have!

Here I am at 30 weeks.

Gosh, I swear that's what I look like now (at 24 weeks) and I'M measuring small! I'm so glad everything is okay with your little one. It's always nice to have an excuse for more ultrasounds...

Wow! You look great! (At least your belly does. lol) Glad to hear that everything is okay. I can't believe you're already so far along (I guess it does help that I missed the first 20 weeks.) Hope everything continues to go well!

You are so cute. Khy always measured small. They had me so worried about it and even did test for down syndrom. I dont know why they worry so much about size. Just small babies.
