Holy Cow, honey…I weighed 9lbs 8oz, and my mom promptly quit the motherhood game. See, my sister (the oldest) weighed 4 lbs…premature, and in those days a big deal. Then a brother, 6.5 lbs. Then a brother, 7.5 lbs. Then I came along. Nine and a half pounds…can you blame mom for deciding that it might be a good idea to quit?
ANYWAY, I digress…CONGRATULATIONS!
I’ll bet money that you are going to be a GREAT aunt! [sub]and since I am Scottish and notoriously frugal, THAT is a RINGING endorsement of your auntabilities![/sub]
She is doing good, but she hates being stuck for blood sugar tests, she has her mother’s lung power. She is not really chubby , but holy cow is she ever lanky!
I have never known anyone else to have such a big baby on the first go.
