The technician estimated belly baby to weigh about 4 lbs which means he is right on track for being between 8 and 9 lbs at birth (Bambino was 9 lbs when he was born). No small babies for this mama!
Everything else measured normal to average size with the exception of his head which is a smidge larger than normal. That should be fun, LOL! Truth be told though, I would have been more surprised if she'd said his head was small or normal; its a nightmare trying to buy hats for this family! (anyone have a hat in XXL?)
So all in all, belly baby is healthy and right on track which makes me almost deliriously happy! With all the stress I've been experiencing I have to admit that I've worried about how it has been affecting him so I'm really glad to hear he's well :)
Here is the ultrasound pic we got today-not as clear as the others unfortunately but you can definitely tell he's grown!
Glad to hear baby is getting bigger. I hear ya on the weight thing lol. Racer was 8lbs 8oz. Poker. He was rolls and rolls of pudge lol. Now, he's tall and skinny. Diva had pudge all over her legs lol but was only 7lbs 4oz at birth (when we left hospital, she was 6lbs 10oz or something like that).
