Well done!
My third was 11lb 10oz but (thank God) was a cesarian.
G&A and pethedine only? Give that woman a medal!
Try & get a photo of your babs next to an average sized one, I've got one of Charlie next to my friends 7lb bab & it is sooo cute, you can really appreciate how big he was

Blimey, my DS was 5lbs and half an ounce! Your SIL’s DS is over twice that! He’s a month old, and still no-where near that weight!

flippin' 'eck!!! and OUCH!

ds1 was 10lb and I know hat you mean about looking like a 3 month old when they come out.

ds4 was predicted to be over 11lb at 40 weeks - soooo glad that they gave in to my pleading to be induced 2 weeks early - still over 9lb even then!

Congrats to your sil - like the name too (it's ds1's middle name!) Smile

HOW did she do that naturally?! Nuff respect. Ds (first and only so far)weighed 91b 3oz and I thought that was huge. Bet she was shocked as first one wasn't a big baby. Congratualtions all round Smile
