I was 7lb 14oz and I think 21" long. I was born in the early afternoon. DH was only 6lb and some odd ounces, but he was born like 3 weeks early.

I weighed 4lb 10oz on Thursday, Feb 17, 1987 at 3:07pm; not sure how long I was.

I was born a month premature.

I was 4 pounds, 8 oz. I don't recall the length. I was 6 weeks early. My mom was a smoker, which probably explains the low birth weight, and being early. I've had poor respiratory health for my whole life....probably due to the fact that both of my parents smoked like chimneys for my entire childhood. My sister was also quite small, but came on her due date. Both of us have struggled with weight and respiratory health issues all our life.

I just asked mom about her children's birth weights. In order:

Me: 9 lbs .75 oz
Brother: 9 lbs 1 oz
Brother: 8 lbs 3 oz
Brother: 7 lbs 14 oz
Sister: 7 lbs 12 oz

We were all between 20-21 inches long. Mom says one can tell she started smoking after I was born. Birth weights of her children kept getting lower. All my nieces and nephews have been in the 8-10lb range (ouchy)
