"So, were any of your other babies big?"

That is what my ob asked me yesterday.


Me: "Well, yes actually. I had a 9 pounder (Sasha Belle) in the mix. They have been getting smaller, though."


Him: "Oh, because this little guy is measuring a week and change ahead of schedule."


Me: "Oh, well I have been eating too many treats lately....Easter Candy...you know....".


Then we discussed which Easter Candy is the best and why. He doesn't share my love of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Shocking!!! Anyway.......


Me: "I wonder if I have gestational diabetes?".


Him: "You aren't showing any signs today. I guess he will just be a big baby boy."




Well, so there ya go. I guess I won't need any teeny tiny newborn clothes for him. Straight to 3 month sizes, apparently.




We can't wait to meet him and kiss his little face. I still can't believe we will have 5 kids. Yippee!! I still remember plain as day thinking there would be no more babies for us. Then came sweet little Audrey Anne.


And now Noah is on his way, in all his chubbiness!!


So grateful!! So happy!!


p.s. I guess I need to add that since I have my babies via c-section, they are free to get as big as they want. It won't make a big of difference. I just think it is funny. My boys seem to grow bigger than my girls......well, except for Sweet Sasha Belle.....

C-section?!! Hope not! So glad everything is well and good! Big is good, no matter how you look at it! That just means healthy in my book!

Ava was 8lbs 7oz and the dr thought Violet would be even bigger. He was kind of worried about it and kept measuring with the ultrasound. But she was 8lbs 4oz and that was being 4 days overdue! Don't worry. Plus chubby babies are cute!
