Baby size

Does genetics play a role in determining how big baby will be? My husband and I were well over 8 lb. He was also a long baby and is over 6ft now. Does this mean I'm more likely to have a big baby? I haven't had an ultrasound since 16 weeks. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow.

I was planning on asking my dr the same thing next time I go. I was almost 10 lbs and I’m terrified of having a 10 lb baby 😩
