related to what i said in my post earlier today...
bryan and i have a bet going. he feels that oliver will be a BIG baby. i feel this must stem from some manly desire to produce only big things. i think ollie will be a normal sized baby. this is, after all, my first pregnancy, and i'm not a big girl, and my actual uterine enlargement has been spot on (tmi my ass).
the over/under is 9 lbs. there is no WAY i'll have a 9+ lb baby!
but with my weigh in today, i do admit i am a liiiiiitle worried.
