99th percentile!

We had an ultrasound today...28 weeks.  Looks like we are going to have a big baby.  He is in the 99th percentile for size.  His head and body are measuring 2 weeks ahead and his tummy is measuring FOUR weeks ahead!  This lil guy may not be born so little afterall.

Of course the first question was if I passed my screening for gestational diabetes...and yes, I have.  So no, don't have it.  If I did have it, it might better explain this enormous baby in my belly.  I asked the dr what all this means...is there any threat to the baby? He said no, some people just have big babies.  Right now, he is 3 pounds 10 ounces.  I already know I am having a c-section (since I have already had 2), so I know I won't have to deliver that watermelon!!  :) 

The tech was talking 9 or 10 pounds....the doctor was talking 10 PLUS pounds!  Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Kinda freaking out!  I asked him what the largest newborn he's seen....and he said a 14 lb baby.  Crazy!

  1. You must be eating all the right foods for such a healthy eater already! Can't wait to hear what his weight will be when he arrives.
