Through a series of clicks, from a link at DeAnna’s blog for Owlhaven’s blog to Karen’s, I found a request from an expectant mom for pictures of other pregnant moms so she would feel better about her pregnancy size. đ
This was taken just before I was induced for the delivery of my third child, Jesse, a little over 13 years ago. He was 13 days overdue. He weighed 12 lbs. even. Yes, he did. Yes, the same skinny Jesse you’ve seen in other photos here. I am not sure why he was so big — my weight gain with him was the most moderate of the three of them, and I didn’t have the gestational diabetes that I had had with Jason. But I sure was glad when he finally arrived. đ
He was born in a women’s hospital, which usually only had newborn babies around, and someone from the hospital had to go out and buy diapers because the newborn ones wouldn’t fit.
Wasn’t he a cutie?! Still is!


Thanks for sharing your pictures Barbara! He is a cute little guy!
Too sweet!!
Mary, mom to many
Oh my goodness! 12 lbs! What a fatty fatty two-by-four! How delightful! Of course, I know it’s painful (I’ve had 3 myself), but look at that precious face!
Labor may be a little rougher with a big baby but there is just nothing better then a chubby baby! You just can’t squeeze them enough!
Thanks for the comment about familyfun.com. I there looking right now. đ
Love the pic! Wow 12 POUNDS!!! Those kiddos sure start attacking u early in their lives. đ
What a sweet picture of him. I can’t believe he was that big!!!!
