holy huge baby, batman!

so b/c trevor was so big when he was born (9 lbs., 8 oz.), my doc is concerned w/ how big nudger is gonna be. that was BEFORE we found out i have gestational diabetes. oy. if i'm able to keep the gd under control (which i seem to be doing ok at so far), it shouldn't have any effect on how big he is. . . anyways, b/c of the concern they have (and let's face it, i'm scared too), they wanted me to have another u/s to measure him. at 21 weeks, he was measuring about a week ahead of schedule. well, today, at just over 30 weeks, he's measuring TWO weeks ahead. . . he's about 4 lbs., 5 oz. according to their measurements, and if he stays on a normal growth curse between now and whenever he's born, he'll likely weigh in around 10 lbs. BUT since he's been accelerating so far, i expect that trend to continue. i am absolutely TERRIFIED of how big this kid will be in the end! and unfortunately, w/ how fast i labored w/ trevor, i'm not expecting there to be time for any drugs - especially since i refuse to have narcotics, i hate the way they make me feel. if i have anything, i'd want an epidural. but most likely i won't have time for anything at all - i'm nervous about getting there in time to begin w/! anyways, just thought i'd share my new panic w/ you all, as well as the new u/s pictures. enjoy! :)
