k2bdeutmeyer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 My BFF had a little baby girl on Thursday of last week, and I had the privilege of taking her newborn pictures this morning. She was 6lbs 9oz at birth, but is down to 6lbs 3oz now. So, so tiny. I just love her and wanted to share :) Thanks for looking :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Aww, how cute! I have to admit, when I saw the title, I wasn't expecting a 6 pounder. :lol: My 3 were 6 lbs. 10 oz., 5 lbs. 12 oz., and 6 lbs. 4 oz. at full-term birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelotmom Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Aww, how cute! I have to admit, when I saw the title, I wasn't expecting a 6 pounder. :lol: My 3 were 6 lbs. 10 oz., 5 lbs. 12 oz., and 6 lbs. 4 oz. at full-term birth. Mine were 6lb 11oz and 6lb10oz (first borderline preterm, the second was full term). I don't remember my first looking particularly small, but I'd attended a number of births during my second pregnancy, few of which were less than 8lbs, and DD looked positively tiny in comparison, so much so that I asked if something was wrong with her! But no, just on the small side :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 LOL....it definitely is all relative! Mine were 7lbs 7.5oz, 8lbs 2oz, and 8lbs 2oz....so she seems sooooo tiny. Her little socks just fell right off, because they didn't even touch her leg. They were about 7 sizes too big around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Beautiful! I just love those! You forget just how small a newborn is. My dd was 1 lb 14 oz at birth and 4 lb when she was released to come home with us. My son was 6 lb 11 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat19 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 So Cute! My now 2 year old was 6 pounds at birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtney.byrum Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Beautiful pictures of a sweet beautiful baby girl! I was so thinking she'd be smaller, lol. My perspective is off though as DD was only 3 lbs 1 oz at birth with a low weight of 2 lbs 9 ozs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiCO Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Aww, how cute! I have to admit, when I saw the title, I wasn't expecting a 6 pounder. :lol: My 3 were 6 lbs. 10 oz., 5 lbs. 12 oz., and 6 lbs. 4 oz. at full-term birth. I have a friend who just had twins. Each twin was over 7 lbs! I have no idea how they fit inside her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 That amount of cuteness should not be allowed! Makes my uterus throb. What a darling little one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Beautiful pictures and gorgeous baby, but not tiny. She is within normal weight range, just like mine were at 6 lb 4 oz and 6 lb 8 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Beautiful pictures and gorgeous baby, but not tiny. She is within normal weight range, just like mine were at 6 lb 4 oz and 6 lb 8 oz. Yeah, but she seems tiny to those of us with 8 and 9 pounders. My smallest was 8lbs 10oz. I can't fathom any baby under 8lbs or so. It makes me think, "Put 'em back. He ain't done yet." :001_smile: Cute baby. Great photos. I like the middle and last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yeah, but she seems tiny to those of us with 8 and 9 pounders. My smallest was 8lbs 10oz. I can't fathom any baby under 8lbs or so. It makes me think, "Put 'em back. He ain't done yet." :001_smile: Cute baby. Great photos. I like the middle and last one. I agree! The term small is relative. My ds16 was 10'2", so this baby seems quite small in comparison! My friend had a baby the day before I had my 10 pounder, and her baby weighed 6'2". So, this baby is NOT small in comparison to that one! :001_smile: These are beautiful pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortana Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Absolutely precious! Makes me miss my little boy being a newborn. He was 5 lbs 6.5oz at birth (full term) and dropped to 4 lbs 11oz when we was released to go home. Hard to believe that he is now 65 lbs and going to turn 10 on Saturday! Yikes! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolly Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Gorgeous pictures! Definitely a size is relative thing. She looks absolutely perfect to me. A little on the big side, but hey. My whopper came last. He was 6 and a half pounds.:lol: The other three came home at between 4 lb 2 oz and 4 lb 6 oz. I thought my boy looked quite large.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Thank you so much for all the compliments! I just wanted to clarify....I didn't mean to imply that she was TOO tiny. You just forget how small they are (my youngest is 10 months now), and when they're smaller (though normal) on the size spectrum it makes it even that much more apparent. Her little socks didn't even touch her leg or foot. They were HUGE! Anyway....she IS just perfect.....I love that she is so tiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Beautiful child, beautiful photos! My twins were born 7#8oz and 6#1oz. Baby girl dropped down to 5#8oz. She seemed so tiny, like a doll! Her brother felt big and heavy by comparison (I don't think he lost much in those first 2 weeks, he just gained from the get-go!). These babes were full term, born the first day if my 39th week. So, even though she is not too tiny, those of you with 8 pound newborns would definitely notice the difference if you picked up this itty bitty angel! ETA: It wasn't just the weight, dd seemed to have *bones* that were much, much smaller than her big brother's. She seemed fragile compared to him.

ereks mom Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Aww, how cute! I have to admit, when I saw the title, I wasn't expecting a 6 pounder. :lol: My 3 were 6 lbs. 10 oz., 5 lbs. 12 oz., and 6 lbs. 4 oz. at full-term birth. My first was 4 lbs. 15 oz. at birth (lost down to 4 lbs. 7 oz. and then gained back up to 4 lbs. 11 oz. by the time he came home from the hospital). When my second was born at 6 lbs. 9 oz. (6 lbs. 1 oz. when we went home), we thought she was HUGE! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it was just a "tiny little" exageration on your part ;) I think it's just we were expecting a baby well under normal weight. Just as I wouldn't expect somebody referring to an 8 pound newborn as HUGE either *even though it might feel that way to moms of smaller babies like me*:D! In complete agreement on your beautiful pictures and the lovely little girl!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
