So, we went to the ultrasound clinic again on Tuesday so that they could check on the size of the bean. He's still measuring small. Actually, he went from being in the 20th percentile at our previous appointment, to being in the 15th percentile at this one. Because of that, they did a biophysical profile measuring things like muscle tone, movement, breathing movements, the amount of amniotic fluid, and umbilical artery flow. All those results came back fine, but they still indicated that they want us to come back for another ultrasound in two weeks. We're not thrilled with having to go in for so many ultrasounds. We're sort of debating whether we want to do any more actually. Hopefully Jen and baby have a bit of a growth spurt over the next few weeks and it becomes a non-issue.
I just checked Jen's baby book and she weighed 6lbs, 10oz at birth and was 20 inches long, which is on the lower side of average. I guess it shouldn't be that unexpected that our baby might be on the smallish side too.

"I guess it shouldn't be that unexpected that our baby might be on the smallish side too." You are perfectly correct. I've been reading through your blog & it seems that your sweet little baby will not only inherit Jen's physical dna but all of your kindness, thoughtfulness & generosity. Congratulations. Enjoy the last month of being together before you become a darling family of three. Happy Solstice! With Love & Respect, Katie x
