And she wasnt surprised to learn that her baby was due to be a larger than expected bundle. Her previous two babies had weighed over ten pounds so when she was told her third baby was going to be 13 pounds she wasnt fazed.

hundreds of dollars to do it alone she opted out of ultrasounds. According to CBS she says she refused to go without him and they didnt want to spend hundreds of dollars for her to go alone. When she was examined her doctor only felt one baby. Baby two was right in front and typically twins are stacked Meagan told CBS.
