I asked my dr. what they might have weighed if I went full term and he said around 8.5 to 9.5 lbs. <BR/><BR/>Which leads me to say: "C-section-its a GOOD thing"<BR/><BR/>When your mom said "there will be times when you wish you could put her back in", she speaks the truth. I'd like to add "And when she is a teenager, and you DO know what she wants, you'll want to do that then, too"<BR/><BR/>It impresses me to no end that you've kept such an upbeat attitude! I had all 3 of mine early, and I feel pretty sure the boys' dad thinks of that as just another blessing. I can't say for certain his patience with me would've lasted another 3 weeks!Just Julezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439613299435544603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20386655.post-1155675502460819782006-08-15T16:58:00.000-04:002006-08-15T16:58:00.000-04:00I know 7 or 7 1/2 pounds is not big. But girl is ...I know 7 or 7 1/2 pounds is not big. But girl is putting the pounds on quickly. By the time her due date arrives, I would estimate her to weigh 9 or more pounds. I saw a picture of a 9 pounder at church Sunday--she was a hoss! Ann and I both weighed practically 9 pounds when we were born--me 8 14 and Ann 8 15. Mom survived, so I probably can, too. I'm just ready for her to be here now. I got used to the idea of her coming early, so I'm hoping she's still transverse when we have our next ultrasound on Monday.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096390195071934630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20386655.post-1155674364443565672006-08-15T16:39:00.000-04:002006-08-15T16:39:00.000-04:007 lbs is very average. i think i weighed about tha...7 lbs is very average. i think i weighed about that or a little less when i was born, and i was 2 weeks late. my own chubster was 9 even, born just 1 day after he was due!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090954944438450837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20386655.post-1155650068498986372006-08-15T09:54:00.000-04:002006-08-15T09:54:00.000-04:007 pounds isn't big...

There was a little girl born at the same time as Jamie who weighed 13 LBS!!! and her momma had her the old-fashioned way, too. (In case kids are reading this, I thought it better to use the euphamism "old-fashioned way" than the medical term, if ya know what I mean!)<BR/><BR/>Love ya!<BR/><BR/>And I remember those pains. They are your pelvis getting ready for baby, but if they are hurting you, CALL THE DOCTOR! Even if they just tell you it's normal, it's still very comforting to hear from a medical professional that it's normal. Otherwise you'll drive yourself bonkers worrying!<BR/><BR/>Love ya bunches!Jenn-Jenn, the Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850119465505660438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20386655.post-1155642865665098592006-08-15T07:54:00.000-04:002006-08-15T07:54:00.000-04:00Boy, that Annie has good ideas!

So we may actually have a little more time, huh? <BR/><BR/>Poor you--I know you want this to be over. I promise you that after she comes, there will be times when you wish you could put her back in, so you know that she has what she wants, rather than trying to interpret those cries. You'll catch on, though. We all have.
