According to BabyCenter's predictions, the baby should be just over 6 pounds this week, as noted in Monday's posting. On Thursday, R went in for her weekly doctor's appointment and he estimated the weight at about 7 pounds, 3 ounces. His prediction is that the baby will weigh close to 8.5 pounds at birth.
The doctor based his estimates on some very basic tests (ie: poking around the belly with his fingers), so he could be way off. However, since he's been delivering babies for more than 20 years, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

The babies just love the doctoring poking the belly. As I recall they poke back and let you know they are not happy to have someone disturbing their home. It will be so fun to meet this every growing little fellow.
Guesses are good, but we'll just have to wait and see what he weighs. With a tiny mommie I guess most of the carrying around AFTER THIS NINE MONTHS will be the daddy who is certainly big and strong!
