Neither of those are "big", especially for gestational age.
SIgned mother of an 11lb+ 39 weeker (that's big).

Why so small?
Not the PP, but mine was born at 41w4d at 6 lbs 11 oz. She was just small. No reason. Just small.
Mine was 41 wks, 1 day and also 6 lbs 11 oz. My first was 7.7. I think they were both in the 25%-50% percentile for weight for the first few years. Seems within the norms to me.

a few days shy of 42 weeks - 9 lbs, 12 ounces
It really didn't feel any different from the delivery of my second, and he came in at 8 lbs, 9 ounces. If anything, the second baby hurt a little more - something about the position of his shoulders.

My first went to 42 weeks, and was 8.5 pounds. It wasn't his size, it was his huge pumpkin head that was difficult. I don't think giving birth any earlier would have made a difference.
My second was born on her due date and was under 7 pounds.
My third went to 42 weeks (last several weeks I was certifiably crazy) and ended up being 10 pounds 4 oz. My midwives had thought she was an average 8 pounder -- go figure. Her size was not an issue -- fat is squishy plus she was #3 so labor went really quickly. I must say, it was great having a chunky monkey -- she looked like a month old baby and was just super sturdy from the get-go.
It's all genetics, at least for my kids -- my oldest still has the pumpkin head, my middle is still tiny for her age (~65 pounds at 10 1/2) and my youngest is enormous for her age (at least 10 and probably 15 pounds heavier than my 10 year old, and just as tall if not taller).

42 weeks on the nose and 8 lb 4 oz. Almost exactly the same size (weight and length both) as her big sister, who was born at 40 weeks.

My babies were both over 41 weeks. The one who was five days later was 5 ounces more. Both well under 7.5 lbs and tall kids now at 3 and 5.
