Ok so I don't usually post after I see the doctor but several people have asked how big the baby is. In reality there is no way to really tell, very accurately. But I asked today and Dr. A said that "normal" pregnancies at 29 weeks the baby weights 2.2 pounds. Now for me that means a little bit bigger, my tummy measured at 32 weeks so I would think somewhere around 3.5 pounds. Dr. A did not want to commit to a specific weight, because why get your hopes up. For all those people out there who think my belly is not very big, well I have news for you, it is. When I say that my belly measured 32 weeks, they take a tape measure and place it along your belly from the top of your uterus down to your pelvic bone and that is how big you are. I think those locations are correct, either way you get the idea. I hope that helps, we are right on track to having a good size new born.

Maybe your going to have a big boy!
What ever you have, I'm sure he will be very healthy.
Neither of my doctors ever speculated on weight. I just don't think it's anything they do these days. They just check the heartbeat, measure you to make sure you're not TOO far ahead/behind and send you on your way if all looks well.
I'm glad to hear all is going well with the pregnancy. I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl!
Jessica was guessed to be a 5-6 lb baby. Boy was the Dr. surprised when her 8 lb 10 oz self came out.
