I only really remember 1 of 4…9lbs, 9ozs. Easy.

I’d have to look up the others.
 
I only remember that my daughter was 7 pounds and something. Then again, I never understood the fascination with weight and height other than for medical reasons.

I tend to remember the story much more than the facts regardless of what I am talking about. So I clearly remember holding her for the first time how she felt and how I felt what her little hands looked like… I remember the emotion, the touch, the smell, etc. It’s like a movie in my mind.
 
Yes but it’s pretty easy when they all weighed within one ounce of each other:

#1 - 9lbs 6oz
#2 - 9lbs 5oz
#3 - 9lbs 5oz
 
Of course the moms remember!! Way to make us look bad!

…ruined my weekend…
 
I do!
A 5LB 11OZ on 3/21/09
B 4LB 11OZ on 3/21/09

I’m a numbers person, so I can remember any number it seems.lol
 
yes I remember…but to be fair I have a really good memory and can remember weird random facts all the time.

#1 7lbs8oz
#2 7lbs11.5oz
#3 7lbs6oz
 
7lbs 6oz
7lbs 8oz
8lbs 7oz
8lbs 8oz

This is stuff I remember easily though. I can also remember major milestones (crawling, walking, etc) but can barely remember where things are placed in the house.

The numbers looks small but they didn’t look small or feel small to me at the time!! I made it to 37 weeks after being on bedrest for 17 weeks. They came home with me and no NICU time, they are my little miracles! Funniest thing, my little little girl is now my bigger girl!haha
 
How could I ever forget - I am considered “petite”, but my babies sure were not!

9lbs 2oz
8lbs 7oz
9lbs 4 oz

How bout how long?

21.5 inchess long
22 inches long

God be praised!

I weighed in at 3 lbs 11 ozs back in 1966…

I heard “when we think about how hard we fought to keep you alive, and THIS is the thanks we get?” a lot when I was growing up.

I’m 6’4" and 260# now though!

Oh my, so tiny!! And what a difference!lol
I will probably use that, they were hard on my body! I would do it over again and again though!
 
I can only remember a few of the milestones but like peace2u2 asked, I can remember their stats:

#1 - 9lbs 6oz, length - 18", head - 13", born - 42w4d
#2 - 9lbs 5oz, length - 22", head - 15", born - 42w0d
#3 - 9lbs 5oz, length - 22", head - 15", born - 41w2d

My first was a little butterball!

Good Lord, sounds more like a football team!
 
I also remember how much other people’s kids weighed at birth, too. Numbers just stick in my head. :o

Did they put you in a shoe box with the oven on and door opened, and grease you with olive oil?

I’m serious, they did that like 100 years ago.

You just made my sides hurt!

No…I did live in an incubator for 4 months though. And I’m told that my crib was a dresser drawer :eek: opened up of course!
