Battle of the melons

I had my 34-week checkup yesterday at the doctor and am happy to report that all is well. I was on my way out when I had the strange urge to ask the doctor how much the baby weighs. Horrible decision. She pulled out her little magic baby weight calculation wheel and told me he weighs 4.5 lbs.

Needless to say I was a bit shocked and wound up taking a vacation day from work today to go to breakfast with my mom and to get a pre-natal massage. Baby Center.com says 4.5 lbs. is equivalent to a cantaloupe so does that mean in 6 more weeks he's going to be like a watermelon?!? Oh my...
