Roughly 4 pounds 3 ounces!

So it pays to have the docs on your side. Both the perinatology team and my OB were upset that they had moved my ultrasound to Friday. They pulled some strings and got me in today. My daughter is measuring at 32 weeks 1 day, which is close to where I am. They estimate her weight to be about 4 pounds 3 ounces, which definitely means she is growing. (She was estimated at 3 pounds 3 weeks ago.) My 24 hour urine showed a mild amount of proteinuria still, about the same as 2 weeks ago. So I continue to hang out here at the hospital...

Another congrats is due to my cute friend Mandy, who delivered her baby girl last night after a very rough couple of days of labor, which ended in a c-section anyway. Briana's and Mandy's babies share the same birthday! It is killing me that I can't go see these little ones. The pictures are absolutely adorable, but I'm sure they don't even do the babies justice!

I also have to pat myself on the back for my guesses on the weights of these babies. I guessed Briana's boy Zander to be 8 lb. 6 oz., and he weighed in at 8 lb. 4 oz. I guessed Mandy's baby girl Evelynn to be 7 lb. 6 oz. , and she weighed in at 7 lb. 4 oz. Not too bad!!
