Dh and I were both around 7.5 lbs. Ds was 8.5!

Eta we ended up having to buy some nb clothes. Ds wore them for a mth but we still needed them before he fit anytjing bigger

I was 9+lbs, DH is a twin and I have no idea how much he weighed at birth. 6ish lbs is my guess.

My kids were 8lbs1oz and 8lbs8oz.

My daughter was almost identical to me at birth - one ounce lighter and 1/2 inch longer.

I was born at 35 weeks and I was 5lbs

DH was a HUGE baby, nearly 10lbs. He was so big that they tried to break his shoulders so he could fit out. When that failed they had his dad straddle his mom to literally help push him out.

I certainly hope I don't have as big a baby as DH!

I was born around 36 weeks and was 7lbs7oz. DH was the exact same weight, but I don't know how many weeks he was.
DS was 35.4 weeks when he was born, and weighed 6lbs10oz.

Huh. I was 6 pounds... DH was 6 pounds... LO was 6 pounds!!!

I was 6 lbs, and DH was almost 10lbs. I sure hope the babies we have are closer to my size!

Dan as 8lbs 6oz and I was 9lbs 5oz (!!), but Sadie was only 7lbs 10oz!

I was 9lbs 9oz, DH was 9lbs 3oz. DD was 10lbs 1oz.

My OB said babies usually weigh about what their parents did at birth.

DH and I were both just under 8 lbs. My LO was 6 lbs, 10 oz and was in NB clothes for 6 weeks.

DH was 7 lb 2 oz (2 or 3 weeks early) and I was 7 lb 11 oz. DS was 7 lb 4 oz and 21 inches. Both my brothers were pretty big though - 9 lb 6 oz and 9 lb 15 oz. my mom is guessing this next baby will be big! I'm pretty petite, but DH is 6'4" and 250, and DS is in the 90th % for height and weight, so she might be right!

I was about 7 lbs 3 oz... not sure about DH, but I think he was in the 7 lb range too.

DD was 7 lbs 15 oz, DS was 7 lbs 14 oz.

My husband and I were both almost a full pound more than our son. I was expecting a big baby, but he was 7.6.

I was just over 8 pounds, my husband was under 6 pounds, our LO was 8 lbs 10 oz.

My sister and her husband were both premies, and their first daughter weight the combined of their birth weights at 8 lbs 9 oz.

I'm not sure it matters.

I was 8lbs 2oz and born 2 weeks early. DH was the smallest of his siblings at 8lbs (they just got bigger up to almost 10 lbs). My siblings were twins but born full term at around 7 lbs (that's a good size for twins).

Our LO (girl) was 7lbs 4 oz and born 1 week late!

Either way I wouldn't invest in much NB clothes nor would I register for any. I'd maybe pick up a few pieces and if you happen to need more once LO arrives you can stop and get some. You won't need many because they will outgrow them very very fast. Mine wore NB clothes about 4 weeks.

Both DH and I were born within a couple days of our due dates- he was 8lb 2oz and I was 7lb 2oz. LO was 8lb 13oz at 39 weeks, but I had GD.

It was true for us. I was 10.13 and DH was a bit over 8. Our DD was 10.09!

DH and both his siblings were in the 7 lb range.
I and my brother were in the 8 lb range.

Because I gained very little weight in pregnancy, and wasn't showing too much, my Drs predicted a baby in the 6 lb range.

Imagine everyone's surprise when he came out, at only 39 weeks, at 8 lb 5 oz! The Dr kept saying ”where were you hiding him?” Haha.

We were both around 7.5 pounds (I was 7 7 and I think DH was 7 6). DS was 7 pounds 5 oz.

I wouldn't register for clothes at all because people will get them for you no matter what. People gifted us several newborn items and I ended up exchanging some of them for 0-3. I think we had 8-9 newborn outfits and that worked well for us. He wore the same thing a lot but we also didn't leave the house very often the first month. I think he started 0-3 at a month old?
