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?

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"

)

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

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.

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!

I weighed 10 pounds!

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

I was 6 lbs, born at 6 a.m. on 6/7/66

Missed being a 6/6/66 baby by 6 hours! No lie...

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

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.

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)
