28 weeks - "on the big side"

At our doctor appointment yesterday, the doctor said after measuring my belly that "if anything, she's measuring on the big side." Figures huh - especially since there's still more than 2 months left and my maternity clothes barely cover my belly anymore! I had the 1-hour glucose tolerance test at the doctor yesterday, which screens for gestational diabetes - fingers crossed that the test comes back negative.

Check out this awesome 3D ultrasound of a baby at 28 weeks. She's extremely active, always moving around and has started getting in some pretty strong kicks lately. Yesterday Tom was like "was that her?!" in response to one of her kicks. She also likes to stretch - I call that "baby yoga."

  1. I think you and Tom should start budgeting for baby yoga, pilates, and dance lessons for her.

  2. they told us Squirt was measuring big as well. i doubt he'll be under 8 lbs like Charlotte was (just barely).

    bright side: it just means you won't have to bother with newborn sizes and can go strait to 0-3 months :)

  3. I'm mostly just concerned about a difficult labor/delivery if she's big. If I remember right, the doctor said a baby is considered "big" at birth if it weighs 8lbs 8ozs or more.
