I went in today to see the OB. I didn't lose weight again this week but didn't gain any either. Baby's heartbeat also sounded great so that's also good. I'm measuring a little further behind than I was last week but there was a little growth. Last week I was around 2 weeks smaller and this week around 2.5-3. The doctor said an ultrasound at this point wouldn't be that helpful; she said for measuring growth and weight one every 3 weeks is standard. So we've already scheduled an ultrasound for next Wednesday. She said that if the little guy is under the 10th percentile she might want to go ahead and induce because he could probably get better nutrition outside of the womb. It's a little crazy that I may have a kid in a week! I keep thinking that I'd have at least 3 weeks or so. It also didn't help that they've been using a due date of May 14th for me and I've been going by May 19th. I just found that out today. I'm already dilated to 1 cm. Still high and not effaced much though. I just looked back on the blog to when I was pregnant with Adelaide and I wasn't dilated at all until after my due date last time. Things seem to be working a little faster this time.
Keep praying that our boy would be fine and would start growing and that despite him being smaller than normal that labor would go smoothly that he wouldn't get distressed.

sunee,
i've been praying! i think it's pretty common not to gain any weight at this point (me, the big gainer hasn't gained any)
they thought eg had all kinds of problems towards the end-level 2 ultrasounds etc..there's so much they can't tell until they are actually born! God has formed this sweet baby perfectly-praying for you and peace.
