At birth, did your LO weigh around the amount you guessed they would, and were they as long/short as you thought they would be?

I honestly thought Eve would weigh in around 7-8lbs, but I guess the extra 11 days she got to bake stacked on a wee bit of weight - I LOVE my chunk butt! (8lbs 12oz @ birth)

She was much longer than I thought she would be though. She was born at 53cm (21") and I thought she would be 19-20"

The doctor told me that Nathan was going to be big, we figured around 9lbs - he was close to 10!
Length wise was about what I figured though (20.5")

She was about what I though, i was figuring around 8 lbs, and 20-21 inches, she was 8lbs 2.8 oz and 20.5 inches.

Everyone else thought she was going to be around 6-7 lbs and small because I was "so tiny"... lol

I figured and well hoped that he (well i didn't know he was a he lol) would be in the 7lb range (and he was). I hadn't the slightest clue what his length would be, i just assumed it'd be average

I thought he'd be a little less than 7 pounds, and he was 7lbs exactly . DS#1 was a lot smaller than we expected (5lb 11oz at 40 weeks!) so I wasn't expecting a giant!

Grey was pretty close to what I thought he'd be. I figured he would be between 8.5 to 9 lbs and somewhere around 20.5 to 21 inches. He was just under 8.5 lbs and (after finally getting an accurate length measurement) 21.5".

nope we thought he was going to be really small, with all the problems i had and all with the placenta. He was still a little peanut though at 7lbs 9ozs.
