Life is crazy but wonderful.

How could she not be aware the baby was that big? I knew my son was big, he was 10 lbs 5 ozs, I kept asking the midwife if she thought he was big, she kept telling me well he will probably be 8 lbs. I knew she was crazy, I could feel that he was huge, my belly was all baby.

yea my girls luckily weren't that big but my mom always said she knew i was HUGE. I guess my foot always stuck out under her rib and her stomach was ALL BABY... sure enough i was 9 lbs... and the best part.. she got on the scale the next day and hadn't lost anything.... she still wonders how she had a 9 lb baby and didnt lose anything.

That is funny. Luckily I lost 40 lbs within 2 weeks of my son being born. I had a lot of swelling, and a huge baby. I went down a pant size. Unfortunately I gained it back:)

YIKES - did you see the world record is 23 lbs?! Owwch. Yeah, I thought coming out of the hospital I would not be wearing maternity pants. WRONG. Brace yourself soxmonky!
