external size doesnt always correlate to internal size, she may be "small" in her internal dimensions...how preggo is she?

Pabb, she is nearly 7 months along.
My Mom's (non-pregnant) weight hovered around 115. I'm the only child who was born in a hospital and who was officially weighed. I was 10#. (Dad says I
wasn't the biggest!)
My preggo daughter was 10 lbs. at birth.
I just now tested my fasting glucose level: 109. I'm overweight and need to eat healthier (New Year's Res!), but I'm not diabetic.
Thanks, mrsD, for the video. I intend to watch it this afternoon. I'll send a link to my dd, too.
