Pat and I were treated to another glimpse of our precious Toot on Friday … we had an ultrasound scheduled and got to spend some time looking at little Miss Marr, but I have to say, 2D is just nowhere near as good as 4D! We were definitely spoiled by our last ultrasound with Patty!
The ultrasound was basically just a growth check, but as always, it was fun to watch Toot dancing around. She is still measuring behind in growth but weighed in at 2 lbs 10 oz! That only puts her in the 5th percentile, which is very tiny, but we are quite proud of our little peanut!!
It turns out that Toot was measuring small all the way back to our first ultrasound, so our doctors are now estimating that her due date is probably closer to May 28 than May 18 … the due date in our hearts is and always will be May 18, but at least we won’t be shocked if June rolls around and Toot has yet to make an appearance! We’re quite content to have her with us as long as she wants!
There’s been some inquires about how Toot got her nickname and quite honestly, I don’t even know! Pat and I had been calling MiniMarr “Toot” for as long as we can remember (it seems so feminine now though, I think it’s a good thing she turned out to be a girl!) and somewhere along the way we started using it in front of everyone and it’s just stuck! She’s probably always be Toot to us, poor thing 🙂 She will eventually have a proper name though, I promise!
Thank you again for all of your love and support; reading the comments about Toot’s ultrasound picture made us both so proud and we feel lucky to have such a great network of friends and family. We’re in the homestretch now, so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
The homestretch … now with ten extra days to love and cherish Miss Toot. Enjoy every moment with her. xo

Hi, Pat and Laurie, Thanks for clarifying the name “Toot”…I was assuming it was short for “Tootsie”!
It is always news I treasure when I read the “latest” on your beautiful daughter. Since we are almost ready to celebrate EAster, know that you both (and Toot) will be remembered specially from Rome… you are always in my prayers…Lots of love, Aunt Mo
