estimating birth weights

Not from a doctor or ultrasound or anything. I'm due in Jan and finally started buying her clothes. I didn't buy anything newborn only 0-3 months. It says 8-12 pounds on it. My boyfriend thinks I should take it back and get newborn items. My twins were born at about 37 weeks weighing 6.1 and 6.7.  His son weighed about 9 pounds and his daughter weighed about 8. Based on that and the fact that I have gd I'm expecting no less then an 8 pounder lol am I crazy or should I buy some newborn stuff too??

I would keep them as they will fit eventually. Always better to have a little too big then too small as well.

I am not buying anything new born either. If I get some stuff at my shower I might keep a few things but will return most. Most babies don't fit in new born stuff or only wear it for a very short time

I would keep it. Even if it were to fit when born, I'm sure you know, they grow fast. Keep them and then if, for whatever reason you need newborn stuff, I would just have hubby run out and buy a couple things to last till baby grows
