Now for the YIKES of it. Before my doctor took my fundal measurement he said "BIG" Gee thanks. After taking it, he said "Good" Than he proceeded to check MIa via ultrasound, and when he was finished, he said that she is measuring at around 4kg. For those that don't know the conversion, 4kg = 8.8 lbs. Right now at 34 weeks, with 6 weeks still left to go, Mia is weighing in at 8 lbs, AGAIN The good of it, and what I don't understand I haven't gained a single lb since the 7 weeks since I last got weighed, as a matter a fact, I lost 1kg (2.2 lbs). How is that even possible. -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~ ~~I promise to forget you not, my angels in heaven being watched by our fallen heroes, Dec 23 08, April 1 09, & May 18 09~~

Even if they were off by a pound, that's still a big girl for 34 weeks -------------------- Mom to: CJ 7.03, Alexis 10.09, Taylin 5.11, and Emma and Issac 4.12.

Parker, the handsome pound puppy! Group: Members Posts: 5,863 Member No.: 1,127 Joined: 30-December 04	I lost 3 lbs on bedrest~it does happen. They were so wrong about O's weight. They said she was over 8lbs @ 35 weeks. She came out as 7lb 4oz @ 39 weeks. Try not to stress about it. There can be alot of leeway between how they measure and what they weigh. Your getting pretty darn close! How exciting!!! -------------------- Cheryl, Olivia's mom

Well I won't be delivering in Russia, so it wouldn't really be up to my current OB. I guess my first appointment back in Canada should be quite interesting.

No unfortunately the boys would miss school and I'll be there too long. I'll be waiting at least a month to get her VISA to come to Russia.

I don't own this.

I'm guessing she's 6 right now though.
