walterjenne same, no GD for me either. My husb and I were both big as well, my mom grew big babes, so did my sister. It's meant to be I guess. Here's to big babies, and hopefully good sleepers!

We have larger babies in my family, too. My sister's oldest was 10 lb 2oz.. I give you ladies credit for pushing a baby that big out! OUCH!! My oldest was only 9 lbs and she wouldn't fit through my pelvis, so I ended up having a c-section. I opted for a c-section with DD2 because I didn't want to go through the same experience as I did before. She probably would have been around the same size as DD1 because she was 8lbs 6oz 5 days before my EDD. Needless to say, I will be opting for a c-section this time around, too.

I've thought about asking for a C-section this time if I'm that big again. DS came a week early so if he hadn't I don't want to imagine how big he would be.

The best part was he was a good sleeper from day one though.

jwinct walterjenne yay for big babies! I was induced 5 days early cause my doc was trying to give me my best shot at a vaginal birth. Thankful she did lol. We will likely do the same this time if baby appears to be that big again. I was 11.4 and I have no desire to compete with my mom as to who can have a bigger baby.

And yes, my boy has been a great sleeper from the beginning. Wouldn't trade it!

Add me to the big baby club. 9lb. 9oz but head size was what killed me. He was 98th percentile at birth. Not looking forward to that again.

Three interesting things about me:
1) Anime junky and my husband is worse. We attend at least one comic expo a year
2) I love to horseback ride
3) I am geophysicist who used to monitor wells for seismic events for a living.  
Looking forward to feeling the baby move
Dreading all the bad stuff. DS was very nice to me so I am probably in for some karma payback.
Favourite movie.... do I have to pick....?

asunasword What anime genres are you guys fond of? I am mostly a manga reader myself, but I sometimes binge over on Crunchyroll.

[caer]

asunasword - I love horseback-riding too! I sold my last horse whenI got KU with DS but I miss it. There's nothing like it!

@kitchen - I love that you're looking forward to birth! I really enjoyed everything that came after birth - meeting DS, all the excitement in the hospital, etc. But the birth itself I would happily give up if I could!

Three interesting things about you
1. I love to cook. Lately I have been doing Blue Apron each week, which has been so much fun.
2. I am a software developer, which has been a perfect fit for my career.
3. DH plans on being a stay at home dad

One thing you are looking forward to + one thing you are dreading during pregnancy

Looking forward to baby kicks. I wasn't really sure on this one, but after reading everyone's posts, I was convinced that will be an awesome feeling

I am not looking forward to my 8 week appointment, since that went really badly last time around.

Favorite Movie - Princess Bride, DH and I actually watched it on our first date

[macaronmama]

ameliapond, I think I wanna be your bff. We need to get weekly meal threads going.

[asunasword]

macaronmama, we watch a little of everything. H leans towards horrors but i more prefer for the story to catch me. I am currently working my way through The Devil is a Part Timer.
caer,my parents both ride so I borrow a mount from them to ride.

[ellabee]

ameliapond, I tried blue apron too and liked it. After I had DD, I lost some of my cooking willpower and I found it a nice way to get back into actually cooking recipes. We had Thai chicken burgers the other night that were delish!

[caer]

ameliapond - we alternate between Blue Apron, Plated and Hello Fresh almost every week. I love them so much! And I'm happy to see another Princess Bride fan.

I am super late responding to this, but YES! I would love weekly meal threads.

[jcrewgirl]

Three interesting things about you:
1. I recently got promoted at work and I love my career choice.
2. I'm obsessed with Halloween and Christmas.
3. I'm Type A and being a control freak doesn't bode well with pregnancy.

One thing you are looking forward to + one thing you are dreading during pregnancy

Looking forward to hearing the heart beat for the first time. There is nothing like it. Like @kitchen, I'm also looking forward to the birth.

I am not looking forward to RLS - I had the worst restless legs last time around and sometimes would take 3 hot baths a night to calm them. Gah.

Favorite Movie - Father of the Bride or Chevy Chase's Christmas Family Vacation

[jillian]

Three interesting things about you
1. DH, DS and I are all left handed. As are my mom, two younger brothers and niece. Even though are aren't all related by blood, there are more lefties than righties in our family.
2. I played the drums for 8 years
3. I bought my first house on my own at 20 years old.

•One thing you are looking forward to + one thing you are dreading during pregnancy
Looking forward to - getting a bump so I can stop sucking in my gut. Plus the baby kicks are pretty great too
Dreading - The fear of gaining a ton of weight. Im also dreading telling work in pregnant.

•Favorite Movie
Dirty Dancing and Drum Line
