If you and your husband were little people at birth, well, it seems commonsense that two little people would produce another little person!! Right?
I know they're approximations and can be off but the fact that people are shocked when they ask how far along I am and I say "8 months" leads me to believe that he really is small for his gestational age. I cannot tell you how many people say "You don't even look pregnant!" or "You look MAYBE 4-5 months, not 8!!" They don't realize that at this stage in the game, comments like those are NOT taken as compliments that I look skinny or good, they make me worry even more.

As for two small people producing another little person - yeah, you're right and I never thought that Josh and I would have big kids. As a matter of fact, from the time we started dating my dad always said "If you and Josh get married and have kids, they'll be little puppies!" because we're both small. So I'm trying to think positive and attribute it to just that. BUT in the back of my mind, I keep hearing the doctor say that a sign of Down Syndrome is that growth is steady with "normal" babies until towards the end when it tapers off and lags a decent deal behind. I can't shake that out of my head.

And LOL to you, lv4dogs. Send all the fat thoughts you can!
