You know when you hit Fashion Island and see all of those darling pregnant girls walking around.  They look like they have a large canteloupe in their shirt and they are just days away from delivery.  Well, wishful thinking didn’t quite work out for me, because it already looks like I am smuggling a huge watermelon, and I still have seven weeks left!  And they just happen to be the weeks the baby “really starts to grow”!

My doctor informed me, “this is one VERY healthy baby.”  Brett, my sister-in-law, let me know I am the size she was as she entered the hospital.  My mom has always warned me that pregnancy won’t be my “glory days.”  And Skylar, my niece, just keeps telling me my stomach is getting fatter and fatter.  When I tell her, it is a baby, she points out everyone else having babies whose stomach’s don’t look like mine. 

At my last ultrasound, my baby was supposed to weigh up to 2 pounds, but he was already tipping the scales at over 3 pounds!  When I was born, I weighed in at 9 lbs. 13 oz., and I had a brother who was 10lbs. 6 oz.  I figure it is in the blood!   But I figure if the baby turns out anything like yours truly…then Micah is one lucky guy!
