Another Week Coming To A Close

As week 36 draws to a close, I've been anxiously waiting to see how my little pumpkin is doing.  My ultrasound went well today.  He napped during most of it, but gave a couple kicks to let us know he did not appreciate us crowding "his space." The ultrasound tech estimated his weight around 5 pounds, 9 ounces.  He's still pretty small, but then again I'm not that big myself.  Most babies average around 6 pounds by week 36.  My doctor told me he's the tortoise in the race...growing slowly but steadily.  She reminded me that the tortoise did win the race.... its funny how a children's fable can make a worried mom-to-be feel better.
