Possible IUGR

When I went to the dr. I found out that I am measuring small.  Because of my pregnancy history, (Arden was an IUGR baby,) they are going to check things out via U/S tomorrow morning to make sure Sean is growing in my belly.

IUGR, (AKA Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction,) is when the baby isn't growing appropriately in the mother's womb.  Usually it has to do with the placement of the umbilical cord or if there are only two blood vessels in the cord rather than three.  There are also other reasons, but Sean checked out healthy at the last U/S so I'm not too worried.

Personally, I don't think that it is IUGR.  I think that it's just the fact that I've only gained 12 lbs. this pregnancy.  (I was overweight to begin with, so this is fine.)  In either case, we'll find out tomorrow what is up.  Any prayers will be appreciated! Thanks!!!
