Giant baby in my belly!

I had another check up this morning and learned that Aaron is not only growing well, but he is HUGE. Currently he is weighing in at 6 pounds 3 ounces and he still has 5 more weeks to grow. The doctor says that he will be growing at least a 1/2 pound a week at this point so he could be around 9 pounds at birth (depending on when he comes).

It is such a different feeling compared to when I was pregnant with Peter (who was only 7 pounds 2 ounces at birth - even though he was 5 days late). With my first pregnancy my belly wasn't this big and it was a lot easier to do everyday things. Now I don't really fit into my maternity clothes the same and my belly is a lot more of a nuisance.

We are just really hoping that we make it to the 19th, because at this point carrying all this baby around is making me exhausted!
