My, how you've grown!

SamPat's u/s estimated his weight at 6lb 7oz (2.9ish kilos for those of you who prefer metrics). With the 20% error rate, he could weigh anywhere from 6lb 2oz to 6lb 12oz (or +/- 500g, if you prefer). That's a good size, yes?

Ok baby, you are welcome to make your entrance at any time. Your mamma and daddy are ready!

When I think of him now, I hear this in my mind,

Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time

I've been singing to SamPat during our commutes to and from work. "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" and "Teach Your Children" seem to make him happy. :)

Edit: I think I screwed up my math, there. Durned baby brain!

Really makes me wonder how big this wee one is... but I don't believe I'll know even an estimate until birth, unless I go overdue and they do an ultrasound to make sure everything looks ok.

My, how time flies!

Pay no attention to it. I was told Kadison was approx 10lbs......... four days later when she was born, she was 8lb 3oz

They really don't have a clue

Best Wishes to you and the little one...

Can you guess the Jersey poet...

Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
In his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof

.......

Well now all that's sure on the boulevard
Is that life is just a house of cards
As fragile as each and every breath
Of this boy sleepin' in our bed
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves
Just a close band of happy thieves
And when that train comes we'll get on board
And steal what we can from the treasures of the Lord
It's been along long drought baby
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof
Looking for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof

I guessed, but had to google it to be sure.

Thank you :)

Good size!

I think that's a good size. I think I was around 8 pounds (my brother was 12lbs - 11 ozs).

Most of my nieces and nephews were that size or smaller (two were premie).

Positive thoughts!!!
