Who would have thought that after gaining nearly 20 kilos (44 pounds) during my pregnancy with Elliot that my doctor would be concerned with my lack of weight gain this time around? But yep, 36 weeks in I've only gained 7 kilos (15 pounds) with this little guy and haven't gained any weight since getting sick with the giardia at xmas time. (Granted I did start out the pregnancy decidedly chubbier this time around, but will end up weighing considerably less in the end than I did with Elliot.)
So on Tuesday I went in for an ultrasound to make sure that Oliver was doing okay and continuing to grow. After only a few minutes of poking around, the technician started to laugh and said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this baby. Apparently, he's got a little buddha belly and is already weighing in at 2.8 kilos (over 6 lbs). He's also quite long and has an enormous head just like his big brother. Now with four weeks to go, I'm crossing my fingers that he either loses his appetite or decides to come a little early.
