Just got back from the 33 week checkup. We did another growth check today, and she did exactly as much growing as they expected her to do. (She's still in the 6th percentile, so she's considered small, but clinging to the "normal" range). The good news is that she's maintaining her growth rate, so the doctors are happy. She weighs 3 lbs, 10 oz and her little thigh bone measures 2 2/4" long. She has lots and lots of hair.
They also did a test where they test to see if the "glue" that holds her in the womb is dissolving. If it is, then she could be born in the next two weeks. Luckily, my test came back negative, so Baby Girl has a 98% chance of staying put for at least another fortnight.

And in case you're one of those people who think that ultrasounds look like ink blot tests, here's a cheat sheet:
