My first 3 boys kept getting bigger and bigger (9,10,12), but then I had a girl the 4th time and she was a tiny 8lbs! I don't know why other than that she was a girl (I actually gained the least with 2nd and then 3rd). But I was so happy to get an 8lber... loved that newborn size!!!

Mine also fluctuate, kinda like a roller coaster. They were all born before their due date, the earliest being 2 weeks.

DD1 - 8 lbs 8 oz. (5 days before due date)
DD2 - 6 lbs 3 oz (3 days before due date)
DS1 - 8 lbs 10oz (5 days before due date)
DS2 - 7 lbs 5 oz (3 days before due date)
DD3 -7 lbs even ( 2weeks before due date) I was induced with her due to bp but my body was ready. I was at 5-6 before starting the pit. She was born 5ish hours later.

My third kid surprised us by being so little:

DS1 - 9 lbs 3 oz at 41 weeks
DD - 9 lbs 9 oz at 41+1
DS2 - 8 lbs 5 oz at 41+6

Mine!

In order from oldest to youngest their birth weights were:

9 lbs 4 oz (3 days late)
8 lbs 5 oz (1 week early)
7 lbs 13 oz (2 weeks early)
7 lbs 11 oz (2 days early)
7 lbs 8 oz (1 week early)

My grandmas kept getting bigger though, her last baby was over 11 lbs! But my mom's babies started small, got bigger, then got small again. It think it really is pretty random.

6lb 11oz, 4 days early
6lb 8oz, 5 days early
6lb 9oz, 3 days late
