OB says the baby is a big one. The last one was 9.5 pounds and Lady Chance is a slight little thing. So two days before the due date we’re inducing. Wish us luck, kids. ---

I think I’d have issue with a 9.5 pound baby, and I am considerably larger than Lady Chance. All the best, and we can’t wait to meet Miss Gwendolyn! ---

A nine plus pound baby? Your wife deserves a medal of valour! I had an itsy bitsy 5.4 one and thought I was dying (he was a month early). Your wife has all my admiration and respect. Good luck with the new squirt:). Oh and Congrats. ---

Haha if 9.5 is a big baby, then I feel terrible for my mom. My brother and I were both 10.10. Anyway, good luck with the baby! Sending good vibes your way! 🙂🙂🙂 ---

Good luck, and happy pushing! My son was 9lbs 6oz (he stayed in an extra 10 days just to get pudgy!) so I feel your pain! We were in a room with a 5 lb-er…made my son look like a 5 month old! ---
