Charlie was 8 lbs 6oz born on his due date.
Olive was 4lb 15oz born 5 weeks early.
But even if she had gone all the way I don't think she would have been as big as Charlie. You know how your oldest looks huge when you have a newborn? Charlie looked enormous after we brought Olive home!
Were your LOs similar in size at birth?

Twin A (girl) was a pound larger than twin B (boy) at 5 lb 15 oz and 4 lb 15 oz at 38 weeks. Now he's 4 lbs bigger than her!

J was 7lbs 11.5oz at 39w
M was 5lbs 4oz at 36w
I'm guessing they would have been pretty similar size if both born on their EDD?

Yes and no, haha. Our DD1 (almost 3) was 7lbs7oz at 40+1. DD2 (19 months) was 9lbs5oz at 40+2. DD3 (5 weeks) was 7lbs14oz at 38+3 so she was similarly sized to DD1 but if she'd gone to her EDD like her sisters she would've been more in-line with DD2's size.

DS was 7lbs 12oz at 40w6d. DD was 7lbs 5oz at 39w 1d. I think if they she were born at 40+ weeks like DS, they would have been almost the exact same size

Nope. DD was 6.4lbs DS was 9.8lbs. But DD was 4 weeks early. So she could have been close!

Yes! 7lbs 5oz and 7lbs 4oz...smaller one was actually a half inch longer, but I really wonder about the accuracy of those measurements!

Very close! DS was 6.5 pounds and DD was 6. Both born within a couple of days of their due dates. The doc said that girls just tend to be smaller. She's doing a great job catching up though!
