Narrative:
While enroute in cruise flight and one hour after we received our pre departure weight and balance; dispatch advised that load planning was sending new weight and balance numbers because 68 bags (2;040 pounds) in the aft cargo bin had not been included in the original manifest. When we received the new numbers; both departure and landing weights were within limits. The landing at our destination was normal.
