We are settling into life with three children and enjoying this stage. Our daughter (what do you think of the nickname Little Lady?) was our smallest baby. She was born at 39 weeks and weighed 7 lbs 5 oz.
Our first son, Little Buddy, arrived very close to his due date and weighed 8 lbs 12 oz. Our second son, Littlest Buddy, was 8 lbs 13 oz but was about a week and a half early. If he had been born on his due date, he could have easily been over 9 lbs. With that information in mind, I was nervous that our daughter would be even bigger.
My midwife told me that subsequent children are often bigger and that while girls tend to be smaller, that is not always the case. Thankfully, the ultrasound that I had the week before delivery showed Little Lady to be a very average size. The birth was easier as a result, even though her head was on the larger size (thank you, genetics!)
If you are a parent, how big were your children at birth?
