Q: Update On Brooklyn

Ok today I got my u/s as most of you should know. The reason why I got it was because the doctor thought she seemed small... Well I think she is anything but small.... She weighs 5 1/2 lbs!!! Thats a good weight for 36 weeks! Lol everybody thinks I dont look anywhere near ready to pop, and everybody thinks she is going to be tiny. If I make it to 40 weeks, and if she gains at least a 1/2 lb a week like she is supposed to, she will end up weighing around 7 1/2-8 lbs(probably more though, since im a pig, but she takes all my calories from me)... Thats not a small baby!

Lol the doctor walked in after looking at the u/s pics for a while and hes like "the baby is just fine, she weighs 5 1/2 lbs, everything is ok" and then walks out like he felt like he was dumb or something for thinking she was small... Lol. I guess my small stomach throws people off, making them think I gotta be having a small baby.

That is a good size. When I was 36 weeks they made me get a u/s to make sure he was growing right and he weighed 6 12oz . Now I am 38 weeks and I wonder how much he is going to weigh when I have him.
