And we have a Whopper!!

There are some girls that get pregnant and look so cute the whole time-I am not one of those girls-I get enormous-to the point that people point and stare. You think I'm kidding-but I'm not. However, with both of the girls, I always measured normal and they were larger than average, but not huge-8lbs 2oz. Today I went in for an ultrasound because I was measuring larger than normal. And yes, I am only 32 weeks along and his head is measuring at 36 weeks and the rest of him is measuring at 34 weeks. The tech estimates that he is already 4.5 to 5 pounds. Is it a bad thing when the ultrasound tech laughs at you because your baby's head is gigantic??

Come on, now, Anna, you look cute, seriously, you do. And if it makes you feel better, when I was about 32 week along with Jack, they told me his head measured at 36 weeks, too. And although he was a BIG baby, his head was the smallest of all three of my kids. You know what they say...the bigger the head the bigger the brain :)

Honestly you are darling! Not huge at all. You just feel huge because you feel like you are going to split in half! You look darling as ever! I am sorry you feel humongo, but you aren't!

You say the words 'your pregnant' to me and I start showing! LOL I think you look fabulous! I want to rub your belly every time I see you. Seriously... it's a challenge for me to keep my hands to myself. =)

You are such a cute pregnant lady!! That sweet ultrasound tech did the same to me with Baby A and freaked me out! I will say, she does seem to have a pretty good record not only picking out the gender but also predicting birth size. Hang in there! Let me know if you want to bring the girls by to for a playdate with Li'l J--we'd love to have them and then you could take a nap, bubble bath, go shopping, to the doctor, or whatever. : )

A big baby is a healthy baby, so I'm excited for you! Sorry you feel big, I totally know how that is, but you look so darn cute with a healthy sized baby belly! Good luck! If you need a break between now and the big day, give me a call! I can't take aches and pains away, but I'll gladly take your other little ones, or help clean, or bring a meal. Whatever you need!

Anna like we were talking the other day you are NOT huge at all. Bigger babies are nice cuz they are not so scary after they lose a little of their birth weight. Now you will have your own 24 pounder to lug around at church when he is 11 months! LOL! So excited for you and I am excited to hold a brand new baby. In case I have not mentioned it....I NEED ONE! ;)

Ha Ha! I guess I need to go back to the store and exchange what I got him for a bigger size! Just kidding. This is good though! He should be nice and healthy. You look beautiful Anna.

I think it's possible that being flagrant about our pregnancies runs in the family! I am like your friend that shows the moment I get pregnant and am huge like an overblown beach ball from month three until delivery. I alwyas had people saying, "Oh, I'm sorry" when I would tell them my due dates. and with my kids, the girl was completely normal sized, and Lemur was monsterous. they actually called him The Monster around the hospital. If you look at the original Michaelson children, little girls and big boys are the formula. Yay for genes. Hope you are doing well besides that!

You are so cute, seriously cute!!! And your not huge until you can't reach past your belly to drive or it hits the person in front of you at church when you stand up. (All happened to me).

My son had a HUGE head for a long time after he was born. it would knock him off balance when he was learning to walk. lol. he grew into it...well he still is. it is still kinda big.
