Mom had 14.5 lbs baby girl

I am so glad my baby was only 6 lb. 9 oz. She was easy to carry on my back in a baby carrier when she was old enough to sit up on her own.
 
My 90-100 lb. sister's baby was 11 lbs. ...ahhh...boy...don't believe I'd ever get preggy again if my baby weighed 14 lbs. ....wondering too...how many "stitches" she got?....Like giving birth to a Watermelon!
 
The mom had a C section but I bet she needed a double CC section! LOL!
Damn I would had been yelling blooding murder if my baby was 14.5 lbs.
 
Here we go again! - I had 2 C-sections. Child one was 12 1/2 pounds and 24 1/2 inches, 2 weeks late. She is now 20 and is 6'4". Child two was 10 1/2 pounds and 22 1/2 inches and 2 weeks early. He is now 18 (19 next month) and is 6'3".

Recovery from both was rough but not hard. With the 2nd, I had additional surgery and still recovery was not that hard. 22 staples with the first and 25 with the second and staples were removed after 1 week and I was back to work after 5 weeks for each.
 
I was born breech birth and my mom said that was painful but I was
6 lb. and few oz. That 14.5 baby is fat ! I would not be bragging about my baby being that big , I don't think the baby is cute at all.
 
Never had a c section...my 7 lb and 12 oz daughter was much much more painful coming out than my 9 lb son who was born 8 years later. The mother had s c section..and no matter how big or how small the babies were, I think having a c section is much more painful than canal birth because of the recovery process.

I would think so too , I am glad I did not need a c section . The baby is the size of 6 months old baby she twice size as my baby was.
 
My daughter wore 6 month clothes home from hospital and stage 3 diapers.

Here's my post earlier.
 
This picture was in 2008. Please do not mind hubby's greasy clothes, as he had done an oil change and cleaned the lawn mower for winter storage. Hubby is 6'5 here and the kids were 13 & 14 at the time.

my brother is 6'3 but was only 5 pounds at birth. My father, however, was 12 pounds and his mother was 4'10" (his father was 6'4"). My dad is around 6', but he starved in Lithuania growing up so he probably lost his site. My brother's son was 11 pounds at birth. He's just four now, but he wears clothing sized for 5 year olds, he's a bit taller than average.

Yeah , you never know how it will work out . My older sister is 5'6 and her husband is 6'3 and their daughter is about 5' 3 . She take after our mother who was 5'2 .
 
Nephew was 7 1/2 pounds at birth and only 19 inches. He is now 6'7 and skinny as a rail. His parents? My brother is 6'2 and my sis-in-law is 6'5. Their daughter is a "lowly" 5'9". She's very upset at being "short".

My other brother is 6'3", his wife is 5'0" and their kids, both average 7-8 pounders and 17-19 inchers at birth, are now: the nephew is 6'9" and the niece is 5'1".
