How big is your...

[darklinensuit]

Birth Size?

I was 7 pounds 3 ounces, and 23 1/2 inches long. (My younger brother got to be the kid with all the body fat.)

So, how big were you at birth?

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

:shrug: I was about the size of a baby.

How do you guys know this? My mother has trouble enough remember my birth date so I've never bothered to trouble her with that kind of testing question.

My mom kept a baby book. I'm not sure if that's mainly an American thing to do. (I know, I sound like an ignoramus -- "Do they have Christmas in France? Kerrist-mussss" :lol:)

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

I was 2 pounds 6 ounces, and 20 inches long. :)

Are you messing here? I've never heard of a baby that long and that light. :shrug: :confused:

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

Nope, I'm not messing with you. I was born 2 + 1/2 months early, and for some reason I was a long baby. Didn't end up as a tall person, though. :shrug:

I figured premature from the weight, but I've never heard of that kind of disparity between length & weight. Most people are surprised that I was so long & only 7 pounds, but your case sounds much more extreme. :wavey:

[sara1998]

I was 6lbs. 8 oz. and 20 in. long.

My Sara was born 11 weeks early and weighed 2lbs. 12oz. and was 15 3/4 in. long. I find it odd that Taken was 20 in. long, too!

[GODDESS6]

i was 5 & 1/2 lbs~

[GateandGarden]

I weighed 10 pounds! :eek:

Must've been a hint of my full-figuredness (just made up a word!) to come. :laugh:

[Violet]

I was 6 lbs, born at 6 a.m. on 6/7/66 :shocked: Missed being a 6/6/66 baby by 6 hours! No lie...

[ryan8472]

I think I was 8 lbs 7 ounces when I was born. I was a fat baby. :laugh:

[mondaymornin1]

My Sara was born 11 weeks early and weighed 2lbs. 12oz. and was 15 3/4 in. long. I find it odd that Taken was 20 in. long, too!

:) My daughter was born 9 weeks early and weighed 3lbs and 11oz and was 17 inches long. Now she's seven and nearly as tall as me! (5'1")

'Twas a scary, scary time, but all is great now.

Oh, and I weighed 6lbs and ??oz. Can't remember how long. I'm sure I was short. :cool:

[skcin]

I weighed 7 lbs 10 oz & was 21 inches long. I was also completely bald until I was almost 2. :)

[GardenStateGirlie]

8 lbs 7 oz. and 21" -- my mother had me c-section and ended up with some sort of infection afterwards. So, the nurses fed me with a bottle for the rest of the time I was in the hospital (apparently I didn't want to work for it). By the time they bought me home, I was 9 lbs :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

I was 8 lbs. and 12 oz., and 20 inches long. I was a little butterball. :woohoo:

[golddustwoman77]

I was 7 lbs. and 13 oz. I was 21 1/2 in. long. :angel:

[Livia]

6 lbs. 13 oz. - 21 or 22 in. long - can't remember, I'd have to consult my baby book, w/ my birth announcement in it.

[WildInTheWind]

I was 6lbs 12 oz, 20 inches I believe.

[The Tower]

12 pounds, 2 ounces - 22 inches long.

[GateandGarden]

12 pounds, 2 ounces - 22 inches long.So far the only other big baby like me! :) I was heavier than both of my brothers! It's weird! :shrug: And my mom said it was hell carrying me around. :laugh:

[golden braid]

I was 7 lbs, 7 oz and I think I was 20 in long. :cool:

[wondergirl9847]

6 pounds 5 1/2 ounces and I think I was about 19" long..

[The Tower]

So far the only other big baby like me! :) I was heavier than both of my brothers! It's weird! :shrug: And my mom said it was hell carrying me around. :laugh:
My brother was even heavier than me... My mom is a big Norweigian Earth Mother.

[LikeAWillow]

I was 10 lbs and I think 22 inches long, add another butterball to the list :wavey:

~Marissa~

[estranged4life]

9 lbs 2 oz...I was the second largest of my Mother's children in birth weight, Geary weighed 9 lbs 12 oz and Bill weighed 9 lbs 0 oz (I think Lesa said she weihed 7 lbs 8 oz and I do not know how much Chris weighed)

[jannieC]

I have no idea how long I was, but I know I was 2 lbs 3 oz. 6 and 1/2 weeks pre-mature. I'm pretty normal now, thankfully.

[darklinensuit]

12 pounds, 2 ounces - 22 inches long.

Finally, a big baby. I was beginning to think all Ledgies were itty-bitty Muppet babies.

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

I think I was 8 lbs 7 ounces when I was born. I was a fat baby. :laugh:

Fat babies are the best, IMO. My brother was so fat when he was little the doctors had him on diet after diet. When he hit puberty he turned into a stick. He's been taller & thinner than I for years.

- Jake

[mylittledemon]

OOpps! a Freudian slip there on the topic. I was fully prepared to answer the question in regards to my manhood. *ahem*

But regarding the topic at hand, I was a premie baby...I weighed right at 4.5 lbs.

[darklinensuit]

You didn't misread, I was 23 1/2 inches. :thumbsup:

- Jake

Considering how long you were as a baby, i'm surprised you're not taller. How much taller is he compared to you?

[mylittledemon]

You didn't misread, I was 23 1/2 inches. :thumbsup:

- Jake

Wow Jake! HAHAH! That thing must be a burden. I'm gonna start calling you Mr. Holmes.

[darklinensuit]

It would be, but like I said, we're talking birth.
The mohel came in with a chainsaw. :nod:

He's a few inches taller, and has been grey since he was twenty. I'm three years older.
My dad is 6' 3". Do they still do that thing where they double your height at a certain age to predict your adult height? I was going to be 6' 4". I'm not close. My pediatrician would say, "Don't worry, you're seventeen years old, you're still growing..." (I was not still growing.) I was the tallest & youngest in kindergarten, but haven't been the tallest since. (Except lying down. :D :lol: - and no nose jokes, thank you.)

So, you got the dark hair, he got the height. You could be grey AND short (but you're just short ;) ) Not sure what they do in terms of determining height but I guess i'm about right. However, i'm taller than my mother and my dad isn't much taller than I am. Sasquatch :eek: Lying down, eh? Is that before or after the slow leak? :laugh: Your nose is big?

[CreepingDeath]

I was 7 lbs, 8 oz, and 19" long. :]

Actually, I was blond as a kid. I looked like Charlie in the original Wonka movie, hairstyle and all.

It was the Seventies. I'm just glad I never had a bowl cut or a curtain cut.

The bowl cut is as horrendous as my 80s feathered bangs :eek: That was a wretched time.

[GateandGarden]

- JakeI had the bowl cut in kindergarten. :rolleyes: Awful.

[WelshWitchPMD]

I was 7lbs and 4 oz not sure how long I was.

[lagringader&r]

I don't even know my birth weight! I'll have to ask. :laugh:

[sara1998]

:) My daughter was born 9 weeks early and weighed 3lbs and 11oz and was 17 inches long. Now she's seven and nearly as tall as me! (5'1")

It is a scary time. Glad she turned out good. Sara was in the hospital at birth a total of 45 days. She had a minor eye alignment problem we just recently discovered. 4 months of therapy, and she is basically cured!

[Moony]

12 pounds, 2 ounces - 22 inches long.
:eek: HOLY ****!

anyway, I was born 8 lbs, 20 inches long with tons of hair. I was the smallest baby of 4. Hehe. My poor mother.

[darklinensuit]

no, I meant on my feet. Hobbit ring a bell?

[pianogirl04]

I was 5 lbs 3 oz... no idea how long I was. I was blue when I came out... almost didn't make it.

My best friend was born five months early (I'm not kidding) weighing less than a pound and then her weight dropped. They were expecting her to have multiple handicaps but all she had were detached retinas, so she's blind. An extremely intelligent young lady and a very talented pianist going into her second year of college. I need to call that girl and see if she's up to a party.

[amber]

Whatever was average. 7 1/2 lbs, 18 inches? Totally regular. Although, I was almost retarded. :lol: I was stuck, and they had to do an emergency C after 32 hrs. of labor, cause I was being deprived of oxygen...Oh, yes...let the jokes flow!!! :woohoo:
My dad was 1 lb, 6 oz. or something, though. He fought his way back. Pretty cool.

Almost?? You're giving yourself too much credit! :lol:

Those are amongst the most adorable baby pictures I've ever seen. :laugh:

I looked like Winston Churchill, though.

[xdreamsunwindx]

I was 6 pounds, 10 ounces and 21 inches long. I was born 3 weeks early, via C-section. Apparently, I didn't want out. :laugh:

Here's the only picture of me as a baby I can find on this computer:

http://pics.livejournal.com/fakingiloveyous/pic/00006pbx

It's funny, I was a twig until I was about 8, and then I started getting really fat, then curvy, and now I'm kind of lanky. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I dye my hair so much. :lol:

[littlecricket2]

I was supposed to be born in late March or early April of 1977, and instead I was born in early February of 1977, seven weeks early. I joke that it was because I wanted to make it out in time for the release of Rumours. :laugh:

I weighed 4 lbs. 14 oz, and if I remember correctly, I was 19 or 20 inches long. But now I'm as short as Stevie, :rolleyes: .
