36 Weeks

This week my baby is the size of a



a crenshaw melon. What the heck is that?

Anyway, later this week the baby is considered full term! woo hoo!!! we made it.

They say my baby should be about 6 lbs now. But I know she is a pound ahead, so shes probably more like 7 lbs. With 4 more weeks to go, she will be 9 lbs. OMG! But I will go for a sono on Friday to verify her weight.

For the record, a babys weight doesnt have that much to do with the mothers weight gain. My SIL gained 80 lbs during her pregnancy twice and both times her babies were under 6.5 lbs. I am tired of people looking at me like I did something to the baby to cause her to be big. I have only gained 31 lbs thus far. and my doctor also confirmed the baby is not big because I eat too much. She simply said "some people have big babies". Ok? Ok!
