I don't think I will have a big baby but who knows, I could explode!!!

This is something I worry about when I come to have kids - OH weighed something like 12lbs when he was born :eek::eek: And his mam's only little bless her!

I don't think it's that cold today Cinny, I've just had to strip all my layers off after coming back from town. Though OH remarked the other day that he'd forgotten how annoying I was in the cold, having to put on cardies, coats and scarves before I go anywhere I like it when the weather's on the turn, it's once it gets to April and it's still miserable that I get annoyed!

My dad was a hair under a stone - he was the biggest baby ever born in his town! Luckily for my mum I was 3.5 lbs and my brother was 5.5lbs.

So the next one is the big fancy important, in depth 20 week scan? Bet you'll be glad once that one is out the way and you know its a downhill ride through to the end!

Wow 3.5lbs. Were you born early? You must have been tinchy?

My friend had a baby 7 weeks early and she was 4.5lbs. She was tiny but absolutely beautiful and still had little pudgy cheeks!

I've never got this 'Autumn Coat' thing, I wear my woolen coat year round! Even wear it inside most days!

I just have 2 coats, a thin mac for Spring/Summer and a thicker one for Autumn and Winter. I tried having an 'all year round' coat once but I found I was too hot in the summer and far too cold in the winter!

Tete - It was really cold this morning in Notts. I was up pretty early though so that's most likely why, it was brightening up on my way home from town and I had to take said Autumn coat off but that's by the by.

I feel like a right fatty now, I was 10lb!

My Mum said she and my Pa actually pretty alarmed by my size, my brother and sister were tiny babies and then I came along - little miss lardy bum by the sounds of it - and I was bigger than they were used to

Very early, a bit over 6 weeks to be exact. But mum had already been in hospital for about 5 months at that point with me so I think when I suddenly became an emergency C-section she was probably kind of glad!
