My son was a big baby at 10lbs 5oz. For some reason, I have always been a bit perversely proud of this.
Now I'm pregnant with a daughter and I am 36 weeks and she is measuring at 9lbs already!
They measured me a few weeks ago and thought she'd end up around 8.5-9 lbs and now that she's measuring much larger, I feel really conflicted about it.
I remember being in the hospital with our son and seeing all of the normal sized babies and being sad that we didn't get one of those. I'm trying to be practical about knowing that we'll have the BIG GIRL in the nursery...but since she's a girl, I feel so much worse about it.
Did you have a big baby? Anyone care to comment on how unfair it is already that I am proud of my son for being big and sad for my daughter?
