my child is massive.

I was just in to the doc's the other day at 28W5D. I measured 33 centimeters. About two weeks before that at my last exam, I was between 26-27 weeks. I measured 28 centimeters. I grew 5 centimeters in 2 weeks. holy crap. I'm gonna give birth to a 10 pounder. Is anyone else measuring bigger? I have finally started to gain weight ... I gained 1.5 pounds since my last exam 2 weeks ago, but I have a feeling it was the roly poly in my belly :)

I get asked if i'm having twins about once everyday when I go out, and what do you say to that? umm ... no, i'm just fat. lol My belly is waaay out there compared to both of my last pregnancies. I had to buy preggo pants at the beginning of month 6. I never ever had to buy special clothes for the last two. Ah. I can't wait for this to be over ... i'm excited to meet her and dress her in all the pink and purple we've bought her :)

I told my mother and father about how big I was measuring, and through a little talking I found out that we generally grow them a bit large in our family :) ... I knew that I was almost 9 pounds at birth, but my 4 brothers and sisters were all between 10 and 11 pounds. ouch. All I know is my husband told me that I already look like I have a beach ball under my shirt, and I have 9 weeks to go ... he said in a few weeks it'll look like i'm trying to smuggle a volkswagon. what do you say to that? I was like, um, thanks hun. i love you too.

at my last appointment (28) weeks they said my uterus was measuring at 25 weeks instead of the 28 that i was....so i guess i have the opposite issue from you. We'll see how baby is doing in comparison at my 30 week appointment which is on thursday....im hoping he's growing okay :(

I was at the doctors the other day and at 31w5d and measuring 33 weeks. I've measured at least 1.5 - 2 weeks ahead at most visits, so I know how you feel. :) I've actually gained less weight in this pregnancy than my last, but the baby is measuring bigger...go figure, LOL

I have just over 8 weeks to go and I can't wait to hold my little man!!
