Big Baby!

One of the Dr. Appts that I mentioned earlier was an ultrasound/prenatal visit.  The ultrasound (28 weeks) said that my baby weighed 3 lbs 5 oz and was 17 inches long!!  All they kept saying was "wow, big baby!"  At 28 weeks the normal is 2 lbs 4 oz and 14.8-ish inches long.  I know sometimes ultrasounds aren't always accurate but for that big of a difference this early along, I'd say it was close.  Plus if you saw me you just might have to agree.  The Dr. is predicting a 10 pounder if I go to my due date!  Yikes!!!  We'll see if he's right.

Yes, it isn't much fun to carry around a 10 lb + baby, but when they are born they aren't so weak and fragile it seems like. I loved my 10 lb 12 oz. baby.

Im jealous! I need a big baby because Im trying to talk my Dr. into inducing me 2 weeks early (fat chance...but Im pretty desperate) I keep praying that my belly will measure bigger! That's a boy for ya!! Zach was 9 1/2 lbs and Cade 8 1/2 because he was induced a week early. It's fun to have big boys, they just come out healthy and chunky and cute!! Great time for a family reunion huh? Im just glad your just as prego as me...misery loves company:)
