Wife (who's currently massively pregnant) and Jnr both sick with a Virus the Day before Xmas.

Oh no Ralphy

I hope they get better soon!

That sucks balls!

When's your wife due Ralph?

No good mate. Hope they pick up.

27th of Jan mate. Little bit different to last time. Bub is already 3.5times Ralpy Jnr's Birth Wieght and 200gms heavier the He was when he came home.

Gonna be a "big" little brother or sister.

Just been to visit my 85 y/o uncle dad on his deathbed, he may make christmas day, may not. Nurses are saying hours not days.

Early stage dementia & prostate cancer , diagnosed 5 years ago but still epicly sh1tty to see him unconcious between awakening just in time for some hallucinations .

I was lucky enough to have been raised by my aunty and uncle from very young, god only knows where id be if they hadn't of stepped up and taken me in. I count him as a dad, I get on really well with him and my birth father, but this stills feels like watching a parent die.

Its said the first 5 years heavily influence who you become in later life, I owe him so much.

Enjoy your family this christmas people, you never know how many you have left with them.

Sorry to hear that mate. I hope it goes as well for you and your family as it can.

No one ever said that xmas was a time to relax did they?

They can usually tell weight via ultra sound measurements I thought ?

They measure the basics and give you an estimated weight (usually +/- 8 to 10pc)

EDIT- But yes you are correct the OBGYN monitors weight carefully with high risk Pregnancies as it usually one of the first indicators that something isn't right.

EDIT#2 - Congrats on #2
