Went to the Doctor yes­ter­day and found out Sophie is 5 pounds and grow­ing. She has a lit­tle less than 5 weeks left so the antic­i­pated birth weight will be around 8 pounds. WHEW! No 10 pounder for us, thank the Lord. The doc­tor said I checked out well and Sophie sounded good. She is head down and ready to enter the world. Greg and I are excited to meet our lit­tle daugh­ter. I am also excited about get­ting my body back and not feel­ing like an ele­phant. My feet, hands and face could use some rest from being so bloated and my back needs a vaca­tion from all the weight it is car­ry­ing around. I do have to say that my body has held up pretty well through this whole ordeal, but hav­ing a “nor­mal” body again would be wonderful.

So, here is to nor­mal size babies and get­ting my body back. 4.5 weeks to go!
