My sister was just 2 lbs at birth though.

Mine were all average - DS1 6LB 13OZ
DD 7LB 2OZ
DS2 6LB 13OZ
DS1 & DD were both 3 weeks early and DS2 was 1 week early!

my ds was 4lb 3oz - 4 weeks early (induced) now 18 weeks and 10lb 13oz!

DD1 7lbs 81/2 ozs - two weeks early
DD2 9lbs 10ozs - one week early
DD3 7lbs 5ozs - three weeks early (induced)
DD4 5lb 6ozs - seven weeks early

I puked and puked all the way through my pregnancies and was worst with DD2 - the heaviest. I've always ended up weighing less myself at the end than I did at the beginning (shame it doesn't last)

DD1....8lb 8.5oz...10days late.
DD2....8lb 10oz....Induced day before due date.
DD3....8lb....Induced on due date.

Any bets anyone as to home much my next baby will weigh? Im due officially the 2nd July though we think this time its a boy.
I dont seem to be able to go to term or at least not so far. Am beginig to wonder if this is because I was a premi baby too.
