Big Baby · 3/5/2003

So my doctor said my tummy was bigger then she felt it should be for where I was in my pregnancy, so she wanted me to have another ultrasound. Mostly she was concerned about the due date. So she sends me in for an ultrasound to determine the size of the baby. The ultrasound went fine and the Radiologist comes in and is acting all serious. I had a moment of concern here but then he says "Well judging from the ultra sound your due date is accurate but I must tell you that you are probably looking at an 8.5 pound baby if you go to full term." The way he said it you could tell that he felt he was giving me really scary news. I just said in a tone that I guess had a hint of 'yeah so?' in it "Okay...." He looked at me a little oddly and said "That's going to be a pretty big baby." I finally got it and remember saying something like "Oh that's nothing for my family." :) Belle ended up being just over 8 pounds. But as you can see in the ultrasound pictures they took this go around... she was very squished in there. The picture of me was at 33 weeks... two weeks before the ultrasound picture.
