I never realized just how long a pregnancy lasts!  I feel like I have been pregnant for as long as I can remember, and I still have until the end of April.  I had my big ultrasound and the doctor did a thorough check up of the baby’s health.  He said everything looks great (four heart valves, spine is intact, size is beyond par, etc.). Speaking of size, the baby was supposed to be 1 lb. at the time, and he is already 1.6 lbs.  The doctor mentioned he was exceptionally large for the time and actually moved my due date up a week.  All of this has made me a little concerned as I was 9 lbs. 13 oz., and I had a brother that weighed in a 10 lbs. 6oz.  I guess even though I am “enormous” and look like I am ready to deliver in a month….the baby is healthy.
