So at my last appointment (1 week ago), they said the baby is measuring at about 3 1/2 lbs.....they did not seem to think that this was abnormal or anything, but wow!  Its incredible to see how much they grow....he was 2 lbs at the previous visit 4 weeks earlier.  I just know that this baby will be at least 8 lbs, if not 9...DH and I were both 8 lbs 8 ozs when we were born, so this guy is gonna be a big one!  Should make labor fun Indifferent

    They told me the same thing at my last sonogram a week ago.  I got nervous but the dr. said that is only the 87th percentile in size so we were ok.  Ugh.  Our kids are gonna be huge!

    The estimated my LO at 2 pounds 10 oz at 27 weeks, which was on the big side.  However, DH is 6'4 and weighed close to 10 lbs when he was born, so I'm expecting this little guy to be big!  Yes, labor will definitely be fun!

    I know it's all "guesstimates" with the weight...but my OB doesn't give ANY numbers - in fact - it's hard to get them to tell me what the heartbeat is.  At my 20 week u/s I asked how big he was measuring, and the tech said "oh, we don't do that, we just go by how many WEEKS they are measuring" umm..yeah - but you get THAT by putting together their measurements! DUH. 

    A week ago I had an u/s because of lack of movement - and she was doing all sorts of measurements.  I could see things pop up on the screen.  At that point I was just over 27 weeks, but it kept popping up "24w 5d" and "25w3d".....I guess it wasn't enough to cause any kind of concern though.

    **Edit - Just over 26 weeks!

    A friend of mine had her 3-D ultrasound yesterday & she is 32 weeks. The baby is measuring 6 lbs 10 oz already!!! She is having a c-section since she had one before so I guess good for her.

    But STILL OMG!
