Please don't have a 10 pound baby!
We just got back from our weekly checkup. This time we saw The Beav (aka Dr. Beaver, and yes, that is his real name). Still no signs of the little one emerging soon. I asked how long they would let me go past my due date until they would finally induce, and he said usually no more than 1 week. So the latest we'll see this kid is July 17th. But The Beav also reminded us that "things change quickly in this business" so we still should be ready to go anytime now! I told him of my fear of having a little giant - considering Erik was 9 lbs 10 oz at birth, and I was over 8 lbs, I'm just a little terrified. His only comment was, "Please don't have a 10 pound baby!" I'll do my best, doc! Right now he's estimating it to be around 7 lbs. That's funny, I could swear it feels like I'm carrying around a 20 pounder.

LOL !Our neighbors just had a 10 lb. baby! She had to have a C-section because he was so big. Yikes! Don't worry you will do great!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. And Margaret, you were right, you are pretty big. But in my opinion, the bigger the better. Good luck. We can't wait for the arrival.
