Is it normal for baby

I'm currently 36 almost 37 weeks pregnant. For the last few weeks my baby is growing at least a pound per week if not more according to the uultrasound. Is this normal? Am I really looking at having an 11 lb baby? Does my baby possibly have a growth disorder? Could he really be a lot less than the ultrasound keeps predicting? Somebody please help me.

Ultrasounds aren't always that accurate when it comes to guessing weight.
