My whole family needs help with punctuality. (Except me - I'll be early for my own funeral!)
I really don't mind the baby's taking longer, as long as neither of us has any unpleasant symptoms. A larger baby is generally more ready to eat, and that's important to a nursing mother! Dr. Polish estimates this one at between 8 and 9 lbs., but you never know until you get it on the scale!
Morning, TC!
In a way, I'm glad you're still with us, but...I also care about your well-being. For sure, this baby is going to have lots of love, and be "adopted" by the UT...of course, we've already adopted all the others, but this is the first one that we have "known" from "the beginning" (almost.)
Have a good day! And give Baby Whozis a hug from me, Calvin and Hobbes! *hugs*
Both of my girls were in the ten pound range, and were C-sected out. It's a lot easier on the child, but recovery is more difficult for the mother. The girls are still very healthy, by the way.
I was only slightly disappointed. I was expecting tinyness, and my wife gave birth to toddlers.
The good news will be that you can get back to your normal weight more quickly. The bad news is that your kid will be taller than you when he's ten years old.
