34 week doc appt

blake & i had a doctor's appointment this morning.
we are just about 5 weeks out from meeting our baby girl!
my blood pressure was great as it has been throughout this pregnancy.
baby's heart beat was 140 bpm.
my doctor has always said that our baby measured in the normal range but on the smaller side of normal and never seemed concerned.
however, today she said that i have not grown much since the last two weeks and that the baby now is measuring smaller than normal.
she asked if i had been feeling movement, which i have had tons including now- my belly is moving in all sorts of directions as i type and she just had the hiccups not too long ago.
my doctor is having me come back tomorrow morning for a sonogram with a specialist to measure the baby and make sure everything is ok.
it seems that i could just have a petite baby in there (what i am hoping for) or possibly she isn't receiving enough nutrients from the placenta (not what i am hoping for).
either way, please keep us in your prayers that everything is ok with baby fusch and that mommy doesn't worry too much.
i will be sure to update tomorrow after the appointment.
