Big Baby?
I just got back from the doc and he said my tummy is measuring a little big, the baby grew quite a bit since last time. So we might have a big baby on our hands! That's not for sure yet...I'll know more on my next appointment. If it seems like baby grew a lot again, he is going to order an ultrasound. Then we'll know for sure if it's just the way my uterus is growing (it could just be extra amniotic fluid) or if the baby is bigger than normal. If so, we'll be more aware of if a c-section might be needed if the labor is long and difficult. I was a normal sized baby, but Dave was close to 9 pounds. So who knows? I can thank my husband for this one...I think he better buy me an extra present if the baby is a big one.

Justin was 9 pounds and 22 1/2 inches long. It honestly was not as bad as it sounds. I was only in hard labor for 12 minutes! One nice thing about a big baby is that they eat more and hence sleep for longer periods of time...and they don't seem quite as fragile. I did almost cry when his newborn outfit I bought for going home was too small :(
I have a customized nipple that fits over a 5 gallon pail that you can use as a bottle. I used it for Paul when he was a baby. I can lend it to you if you want.
