Oh my gosh, Red, I perfectly understand

I am expecting no. 3 and with all three next to baby being healthy, my biggest wish was that baby would be over 8 lbs-may seem silly to some moms2be, but it was and has been so important to me with all three pregnancies--and both boys were 8lbs 1 oz. But I am also running very very small with this one--I am 25 weeks and honestly, I only look pregnant when the wind blows my shirts tight up against my belly. I also haven't gained very much--only 8 lbs total so far but my eating/craving is the same as with my first two pregnancies. So, I am worried that baby will very small and I am also not sure what to do with a baby under 8 lbs (LOL). But, my hope is that the "popping/gaining" timer hasn't gone off yet, and pretty soon here it will. Will hope the same for you, but honestly, I think we are probably both very normal and healthy, it's just a different pregnancy (and maybe we're having girls and this is a girl pregnancy thing-wink, wink--I don't know sex either). Good luck. Let me know if your "popper" goes off.

Other side of the coin...(m) -- Kelly F, 15:05:55 04/06/03 Sun

I am SOOOOOO big right now! I'm 5 feet tall and I weigh 144 pounds! My normal weight is 110-115. From behind you can't even tell the difference, but my maternity pants are getting tight! My belly starts under my boobs and lays on my thighs when I sit! Every time I tell someone I'm not due till July I get the same reaction: "Oh my God!" I am the same size I was when I went into labor with my son Gabriel, and this is supposed to be a boy too! I guess it's the second time mom thing, combined with the fact that each pregnancy is truly different. My entire family has small babies, DH was small too, and Gabriel was 6lbs 8oz. I think I'm gonna have the first big one! With all the sciatic nerve pain I've had and the fact that I can't breathe half the time, I think I'd rather be small! My "popper" went off at 8 weeks and hasn't stopped yet.
