I think total weight is a big factor in WHEN they kid. Personally, my 3 babies were almost EXACTLY the same size when they were born.

First (boy) 21 1/2 inches / 8 lbs 5.5 oz 36 weeks That's right! My preemie was HUGE!!! At age 20 he's 6' 5" 220 lbs - yep, that's my boy!!!
Second (boy) 21 1/2 inches / 8 lbs 8 oz 37 weeks This one is "normal" sized. At age 17 he's 6' and 180 lbs.
Third (girl) 21 inches / 8 lbs 7.2 oz 38 weeks

Wait!! Isn't something missing up there?... No age, no height, no weight? I think someone is withholding pertinent information! ;) :pop

My 13-going-on-30 baby girl has the figure I had at her age! Now, I can't very well say that and then go on to say that she has that "just right" amount of padding, and more than ample curves, not to mention the face of an angel without sounding like I'm bragging. The fact is I may have the curves of a grub worm now, but once upon a time all of my curves were in the right places and I didn't have a double chin. Kimmy resembles me, but she's beautiful and that's an honest opinion, not just a biased Mommy talking. The only person who thinks I'm beautiful is DH, and bless his heart he's blinded by true love. Kimmy says I am, too, but that's fine with me. We only need to please each other, and that seems easier with time. Going on 25 years, and he's still my dreamboat. Sorry, was I running on a bit there? :)

DS(10 years) and I went out and weighed the kids just now:

1st buckling-(3 lbs 14 oz) -now is 4 lbs 5 oz- now named Cinnamon
1st doeling-(3 lbs 6 oz)- now is 3 lbs 9 oz- now named Pepper
2nd buckling-(3 lbs 15 oz)-now is 4 lbs 7 oz- now named Gingi
2nd doeling-(3 lbs 6 oz)- now is 3 lbs 9 oz- now named Clove

Maggie is doing great with having all 4 with her- very attentive to them, they are starting to move around more but do hang out in the heat barrel we have set up. Our weather has been chilly/wet here.
