Something I read today said that he weight 8 lbs 2 oz. and that he was considered full term. I don’t know where they got that.

I have a son almost the same age as BO and he was 8 lbs 1 oz., 21 1/2 inches long at birth. He was the skinniest, most pathetic looking baby ever — especially when compared with his older sister who had been 9 lbs. 1 oz and an inch shorter. LOL

In fact, when they first brought him to me I called my husband with alarm noting that his little ankles felt like they had particles of glass in them. My husband laughed and assured me that those were his BONES! That “kid” is a strapping 6’ 3” athletic man now, although he is still slim. That’s just his build.

Most babies born now are in the 6-7 lb range. 8 lbs is considered big.

Babies conceived in October are born in August. That’s interesting, to get to August 4, you need fairly early October.
