Good news/bad news: went in for the 32/33 week sonogram to make sure everything's on track, which it is, in fact, little dude's weighing in at 4.5 lbs. He best slow down on the growth. I am not squeezing out a nine pounder, no way, no how. Unless that's what happens, of course. The perinatal guy said everything's a-ok, except that my amniotic fluid is down a quart, not really, but it's on the low side. I was told to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and come back in two weeks to see what the dilly is. Luckily, I've got resources (Dr. Matthews) with OB/GYN hookups that say that had there really been an issue, I'd have been put on bedrest immediately. Here's hoping that doesn't happen. I can't afford that mentally, physically or financially. Dude's got to stay in the oven until at least my due date so I can use every speck of leave I've earned. Yay for no maternity leave! In the meantime, I can't imagine drinking more water than I already do, but I'm trying!
My new best friend.
I can't believe I have less than two months to go. Unfuckingreal.

haha, good luck! Just think, when that baby is out and weaned you get to drink lots too...lots of wine!
Note- found out that baby gains one pound every two weeks. So maybe 7.5 lbs??? I am going with 6 pounds 5 oz
i cannot wait to replace the 200 oz of water i'm drinking with sweet, sweet beer. or wine. or whatever. oh, it will be great.
6lbs, 5oz would be rad. i was tiny, my bro was tiny, but k and his sibs were HUGE! i don't know what relationship there might be between parental and offspring birth weight, but here's hoping i win out.
