She's gonna be big
At my doctor's visit this morning, I learned that Autumn will likely be 7 1/2 to 8 pounds when she is delivered. That's the size of an 8 pound crenshaw melon for those who need a visual. ;) She and I are doing very well. Earlier in the morning, I mean a lot earlier, I woke up to severe Braxton-hicks contractions. They came every 5 to 10 minutes from 3am to 3:30am. While starting to feel very nauseous, I began packing and making to-do lists because I didn't know if it was real labor. I almost sent out a text message about it. After deciding I would need plenty of sleep if it was indeed real labor, I went to bed and did not experience any more regular contractions after that. Dr. Craig says everything is going right on schedule.

And now you tell us Autumn's size after all the contest entries are in. Dave has the heaviest weight at 8 lb. 9 oz. Then Meli at 8 lbs. even. Everybody else guessed an assortment of 6 and 7 lbs. Is Celeste a Crenshaw melon? She does have a round face.
That is so cool. Big babies are happy babies. Maybe another visualization would be an 8 lb bowling ball?
I am measuring big too so I am going in for another ultrasound the 28th to see where the baby is measuring. So excited to hear when your little one comes into the world. I just hope you don't have long labor like I do because that is not fun.
