Amateurs! :lol:
My last kid (now 4) was 11 lbs at birth (normal birth too - my wife's a trooper). We just found out our next one (and last) is yet another boy. Maybe he'll be 12 lbs! (Our 3 were girl - 8 lbs 11 oz, boy - 8 lbs 8 oz, and boy - 11 lbs 0 oz) And no, there wasn't the slightest hint of gestational diabetes (which can result in over-sized babies). He's just a big boy - he's now 10 pounds heavier than and nearly as tall as his 7 year-old brother.
We didn't find out what any of the others were before birth but on this one we just found out last week (not due till November) because my wife and daughter wanted a girl... d'oh!
The good news (for him, anyway) is that it was obvious he was a boy in the ultrasound.
Anyway, congrats javeryh. Now you have to grow up and get a *real* job.
Thanks everyone! We did name him - it's javeryh just like his dad. Different "J" though but we gave him my middle name (avery). He is doing great - I'm about to go to the hospital this morning to see him!
