Wow... So, according to my calculations... Our baby will be aprox. 7.5 pounds at 37 weeks (which is considered full term).
I guarantee you he's coming on/around July 11th. If he really is that big, the doctors may not want him to stay in too much longer. Since he'll still have 3 more weeks to go (at which point he will be almost 9 pounds)
Good thing I was born prematurely... my poor mother. Even at my birth at 25 weeks I was 2 weeks ahead in my weight. BBM is aprox 2.5 weeks ahead.
I guess this big baby-ness is coming from me, cause Ryan was "normal" (7 pounds, I think?) and so was Michael (his brother). Hmm... but Michael Jr. was born at about 37 weeks (I think) and he was 7 pounds... So maybe Ryan's side does have something to do with it.
Or, maybe it's not genetics at all.
