ANyway,I have been having a recurrence of my morning sickness in the 3rd trimester but it only lasts until about lunch time so I am hoping that I can get enough down to make it to 25 pounds before 40 weeks. (My first weighed 8lb 9oz which astounded the doctor!!). My sister-in-law who is a much bigger women than I gained about 35 pounds and had a 6 1/2 pound baby.... my sister gained 20 pounds and had an 8 1/2 pound baby at 38 weeks.... so you just never know what the genes will do.

Hope everything goes well for you. SarahB
