Now realizing changes for a bigger baby...

So i planned while Dh was away to wash all the baby clothes, fold them all up put away etc.. still have them in gift bags from my shower...

But im realizing i have to keep tags on all my newborn clothes..

after my 36 week appointment and realizing he wont be fitting into anyting below 10lb range...   Im thinking I better go back to BRU and exchange...

Hopefully they'll take it.. i had such a cute outfit for him for the hospital too..

and i had started my hospital bag which now will be re-done as well lol...

I'd probably hold on to one or two outfits, if I were you.  Two of my friends, who recently had babies, said that there babies were swimming in newborn clothes and they were 9lbs3oz and 8lbs8oz.

What are you basing this off of? Growth estimates are often pretty inaccurate (in either direction) and even people who have good sized or large babies say they used newborn size clothes still.

I'd wait until he's born and you know how big he truly is. Sonograms have been known to be off by 1-3 lbs.

I didnt have a growth u/s yet, but she went by feeling..

I was a 10.5 baby myself, so theyre estimating how he feels now and how big i was. idk i gotta wait two weeks till i go in and they tell me what were gonna do

I wouldn't return a thing until I had that growth u/s. It's alot more accurate than 'just feeling'.

ya im def waiting on the returns, but keeping the tags on the smaller items just incase.. would hate to waste it wheni could just get another size...
