Susan had her fourth ultrasound yesterday and Susannah is around six pounds now. They measured the circumference of her head and torso, and they measure the length of one of her leg and arm bones. Babies at this stage tend to gain about a half a pound per week, so if Susan reaches the birth date, March 13, Susannah should be over seven pounds. What a little miracle she will be.
This is down the road, but I know that once she reaches about six months, Susan and I will have wanted to get back in to shape so we will be able to go hiking and carry Susannah up and down the mountains that we have hiked in the past. We may even take some sort of natural fat burning foods that they have condensed into a pill. We will not take ephedra, but we may take something for appetite control. We want to get back up to Old Rag Mountain!
