NB. Just under 7 pounds. I think almost all babies fit into NB when they are born. We took a 0-3m in too and it was huge!

My ten pounder wore 0-3 months. My 8.5 pounder wore NB but it was short on her.

Forgot to add my son was just under 7 lbs when he was born. We were able to use newborn clothes for 6 weeks.

Preemie could be a good idea. My first LO was 6 lbs, 10 oz and NB clothes were swimming on her the first week or two. I would just get 1 preemie outfit though, and leave the tags on, because although the NB clothes were big at first, they fit perfectly 2 weeks in and then she outgrew them 4-6 weeks after that--so she could only wear them 6-8 weeks total.
I would imagine a Preemie outfit would fit perfectly for the first couple of weeks and then be outgrown.
Since 2nd babies are usually bigger, I'll probably just stick to the NB clothes again this time.
