She's a WHOPPER!


With just three weeks to go, Baby Girl Silves is shaping up to be a WHOPPER.  Her Dad has taken to calling her "Little Chub-Chub" (that's what my Dad called me when I was a baby) and over the past few appointments, the overriding comment is "she's HUGE!"  90th percentile huge.  Her estimated wait (partially based on the current size of her BELLY) is 7 1/2lbs, which is about what Wyatt weighed when he was BORN.  She's got three weeks left, and on average babies grow 1/2 pound per week, so that puts her expected birth weight around 9 lbs.  Now, of course that can be give or take, but the bottom line is that she will likely be our BIGGEST baby.  The boys have weighed less and less - 8-5, 8-1, and 7-7.  Oddly enough, I actually measure small by 1-2 weeks.  I guess her brothers have done her a favor by making plenty of room for her in there.  Ha!

So who does she look like?  It's not the greatest pictures because her face was REALLY smooshed up against me (that will happen when you are HUGE) but it's fun to guess...  Dark haired like Wyatt?  Blondie with no hair like Weston?  Tall like Wayne?  Chubby and a look that is all her own?  3 WEEKS and we will know!
