My daughter was born at five pounds, eleven ounces. However, when we left the hospital, she went down to five pounds four ounces. She was having a hard time with feeding.
I do have pictures of my daughter lol of course, most mom's do, but they are on another computer. Also, I am not so sure about posting personal pictures online. I kind of have a fear of doing so for some reason. Lol, that is why my only picture on here is of our dog.

Our son was 7 lbs 2 oz & 19 inches, not tiny , not huge, so we were happy. Had been told he might be as big as 9 lbs.

I had a boy, 7 lbs 3 ounces with a 9lb sized head! (14 1/2 inches!!! Yikes!!) Thankfully I had a waterbirth so no tearing. :-)
My daughter was a slender long little thing....7lbs 4 ounces and two inches taller than my son. Ha! Her head was perfect and petite and she was a very fast delivery - 2 1/2 hours of labor TOTAL. And probably only 5 minutes of pushing.

my son was 7 lbs 14 oz & 21" (and my dr said at most a 5 lbs baby bc I only gained like 25 lbs my pregnancy) my daughter on the other hand was expected to be big and at 38 weeks she was 7lbs 8 oz and 20 1/4" so she wasn't too big, but the dr feared if we waited until 40 weeks she would have been over 8lbs and too big for me to have (Im a small person with a small frame and build)

36 years ago she came in a healthy 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 20.5" long. She had 10 fingers and 10 toes and turned out to be a wonderful, wonderful human being. She is happily married with two little boys and lives about 1 hr north of me so I get to see those boys often.

right,my mother was 4 foot 9 inches & my dad was like 6 foot 3 inches but none of us kids were tall out of 5 girls & 2 boys. I had hoped my son would be taller like his biological father's family but he is average height too.
If that's your family in your avatar they are a beautiful group ;)
you got +'s :)
