WOW he was a great size!

Beema, Little Miss is doing so well now! I need to get some digital scales which give and accurate reading for Brendan.

Hello Sally!
Yep, they did say that he would have been huge at term, at least 4 kg...
I'm sure that his weigh has helped him a lot in his first months!

[Rosebud]

Had Angus weighed today 7.64 kgs 11mths 1 week (8 mths corrected).

[*Beema*]

Oh WOW Rosebud, he is doing so well!!! Almost 10 x his birthweight, I reckon that milestone will be worth a cake to celebrate!!!

[Early Kids]

WooHoo go Angus!! I'm hoping Tristan has cracked the 7kg mark too He's weighed on Friday.

DD's stats:

Birth 2.405kg above average for gestation (34+1 weeks) and on the 3rd percentile
7months 7.5kg on the 50th percentile

[Rosebud]

Beema - I think that celebration cake may just be his birthday cake! Everyone was so proud of him at NICU follow-up clinic today. I'll have to write up his story one day, just brings me to tears everytime I read his discharge summary.....

Sally - Hope Tristan cracks the 7kg mark! Go Tristan Go!

DS1 - 34+6 - 1.9 kilos 41cm
(normal should have been 34 weeks........... 45cm ...........2146grams)


DS2 - 41+2 - 4.58 kilos 58cm
(normal should have been 42 weeks........... 51.5cm ...........3685grams)


At the ages of nearly 7 and four, they are 1cm apart in height (the older one is slightly taller) and DS1 weighs 20.0 kilos, DS2 weighs 22.4 kilos... and they both wear size 7 clothes. DS1 is a tiny meeny, DS2 a whopper...

My 1st son but second baby was born at 36 weeks and he weighed 2500g, we spent a week in special care and as soon as we got home he put on so much weight in the first 2 weeks he was out of newborn nappies.

Our 2nd son was born at 20 weeks and weighed 196g, its not on the chart but I was told at the time that he was quite small for that gestation.

But I think I just have rather small babies as my first was born at 40wks exactly and weighed 2900g and my 4th was born at 40+6 days and weighed 2842g and 50cms.

As I'm a curious little one, am wondering what gestation and how much your lil one/s weighed.

Brendan: 30+1 weeks 1545 grams (82%ile for gestational age)
Tristan: 34+3 weeks 3090 grams (off the top of the chart for gestational age, 25%ile for actual age)

I just got Brendan's notes and he was recorded as being in the 52nd %ile not the 82nd %ile not sure how I got that mixed up lol.

It's really interesting to see the weight chart like that! Thanks Beema

Brendan and Tristan were weighed two weeks ago...
Brendan 12kg (3yrs) and Tristan 6.5kg (8 months).

Updating my two now...
Brendan is 4 and 13.9kg and Tristan is 22 months and 10.3kg.

Hmm, Charlie was 1287 at 28+6 weeks.....he was off the charts too!
Hope this newly baking one is also a good size, but we won't need to find out until he's born at 40 weeks......lol

[Early Kids]

Thanks Rosebud! Find out tomorrow!!

I like that thinking!!

A&X&Me, From the charts I've seen the average weight at 20 weeks is 300 grams

My DD was 29 + 6 weeks and weighed in at 1707g. She was a biggun for her gestational age according to the charts. They had told us that at hospital as well.

She is now 71/2 months and on the home scales has just hit 7kg. She has a muffin top belly and lovely chubby cheeks. We often call her our little buddha.

[Early Kids]

Just got home from speech group and CHN.

Tristan has cracked 7kg! He is now 7040 grams at 9 months old, up from 6560 grams at 8 months. He is now 67.5cms tall too.
