When I had Noah he was 8lb 2ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. Shortly after he came out my doctor was patting my belly and said where did you stomach go? I said it's laying over there screaming. I gained 30lbs with Noah and when I came home I only had 8 more to go. I am tall (5'9) and he was from one end of me to the other. I swear I couldn't figure out how a baby that size fit in me. But being tall gives the baby room to stretch. I have a long torso. You'll never believe that something that size fit into you.
** Just a funny note. Noah was hanging on my leg today when I was making lunch and trying to climb up me and I looked down at him and said "Are you trying to climb back in to where you came from?" Very innocently he looks at me and says "Yeah!" LOL I know he didn't know what I said but it was so cute!!
