Update from Check-up

[krushing]

I had a check up yesterday and Reece is still growing.  He was measuring in at 1lb and 13 oz. at 24w4d.  His head measured in around 26 and something weeks and his belly measured in around 27 weeks.  I was freaking out because he's so big, but doc said he's just a tad above average, that average is around 1.5lbs.  Said he's in the 78th percentile, which I don't know what that means...  He was so funny, he had his legs over his head and his toes were dangling behind his head.  We were able to see the diaphragm and so now we know he is perfect and no more routine u/s.  I go back March 5 for the 4D Ultrasound, which is out of pocket expense.  But, I can't wait to see what and who Reece looks like.

He sounds right on track, at 26 weeks Addy was 1lb 14 oz. That was just a hair small, no big deal still in normal range! ~YAY~ Our babies are getting so big!!!

I just went for a checkup and my baby boy weighs 1lb 10oz, so I guess he's about in the normal range with me being 25 weeks?

Glad to hear that everything is going well....I know what you mean about being a little freaked out about him being too big.  Where i won't know how big our little one is getting my Dh and I were both about 9 lbs, so i am a little scared to have to deliver one that big :)  It is good to know that he is growing so well though!!

I wish we had that here, they dont tell us how much they weigh. i dont get another u/s sound. I guess its good news though. I had an appointment today and got my sheet for my glucose test. they dont book them here we just go to the blood clinic and do it along with some other things she is sending me for. I have to get my rh antibodies checked as i will be getting that shot next visit. she said i only have to fast for 2 hours before going in so i am glad of that!!

good to hear krushing, i think its better to ahve a bigger baby than a to small baby!!

omg krushing lets home he doesnt get that big lol my aunt did and i was 9 1/2 pounds so i'm freaking out that i'm going to be a big baby my brother was 8 1/2 all my dads kids were big lol and my bf he was 7 1/2 so i'm preying for her not to get to big... and hopefully reece will not be TOO big lol

[krushing]

Claire: That's what I'm thinking about Reece...10lbs, but doc said she's thinking around 8lbs.  I asked if he'd be 15lbs and she said NO, then 10lbs and she said she didn't think he'd get that big...so let's hope not!

aww what a big boy bless!! least hes a healthy size!! glad everything went well :)
my friend had 2 boys one boy just 6months ago and they were both 10lb babies when born, but her and her husband were 6-7lb babies.

I know chubby babies are cute, but hey, I know where he has to come out at and I don't want him too big, LOL!  I'm thinking maybe he just got a jump on growing...  I was 6.3lbs and DH was 7.5lbs, so we were thinking around that...but really we won't know until he is here...

[kikicoates78]

He is 2 weeks behind Addy and just as big as her! LOL, She is in the 45th percentile, all that means is 50th percentile being dead on with weight and measurements to date, Don't worry he might have just hit a litle growth spurt early and might be a little slower next week, but sounds like you will have a good 8 pounder!!! Which is better mommy!! Imagine those poochy little smoochable cheeks!! I will have to wait for Addy to have those :(  Seeing as she will be scrawnty when she is delivered. It dosen't take long for them to fill out though!!

o my goodness sounds like he's going to be a big boy. i was 23 wks and she weighed 1lb 8oz so i'm anxious to see the results next time around lol glad everything is going great!
