I've always been told triple the weight at 8 weeks and only double at 12 weeks, but of course this is just a a guestimate. My babies are weighing 1# 9oz., and the other two are weighing 1#12 oz. So by that rule they should be 4 1/2 pounds and just slightly over 5. Looking at the bone structure and parents though I think the smallest will barely make 4; the little girl will be very compact and small and won't ever see 5#s and one of the boys might see 5, but barely. Dad is 3#14oz., Mom is 4#12oz with similar backgrounds on both sides.
I know how important size is to most buyers - I really wish I had some way to look into the future. |
