The boys wore NB sized clothes for about 2-3 weeks.
But DD was 8lbs, 15oz and 21 inches long and NB onesies are way too tight for her and I can't get them over her 14.5 inch head.
But she's a week old and can wear NB pants and she's worn a newborn tank top romper thing since the head opening is bigger. Onesies are either 0-3 or 3 months.

I voted SS. DS1 was a beast (11lbs 1oz) and went straight to 0-3mo stuff. DS2 was still big (9lbs 4oz) but was in newborn clothes for nearly a month; he gained slowly in the beginning due to an illness.
Yes. I was induced 4 weeks early and DS was 6 lb 6 oz. At his lowest weight he was 5 lb 9 oz and he was swimming in newborn clothes. He wore newborn for 6 weeks. His bday was Dec 9th and I ordered Christmas outfits a couple days before he was born. Carter's usually has stuff delivered within a week.
Yes, until about 6 wks. After that...(all in Carter's sizes because....I am lazy about shopping for him):
He was 6 lbs 12 oz and 19.5 inches.
6 wks - he wore 3 mo @3 mo - he wore 6 mo 6 mo - he wore 9 mo (or 6-12 Mini Boden) @9 mo - he's basically wearing 9 or 12 mo onesies and 12 mo. Shorts and pants

Yes, for one month. She was 7.7 pounds and 21 inches at birth. She was about 9 pounds at a month, IIRC.
ETA: We went to Babies R Us for NB clothes when she was 4 days old since we expected two tall parents who were big babies at birth to make a giant baby (who came out at 41w5d no less). Definitely have a couple of NB outfits just in case - you could always return them if you don't need them, or give them away to others.

DD was 7 lbs 13 oz and wore NB for almost 3 months.
DS was 8 lbs 12 oz and got shoved into NB to come home from the hospital because I liked that outfit option better, but he went into 3 month clothes right after that. He gained like whoa though (was 10 lbs 9 oz at 2 weeks and 15 lbs 11 oz at 2 months) and is in 9 month clothes at 3 months now, so he is huge.
DS was born at 36w 3d and weighed 5 lb 11 oz, 19" long. He was swimming in newborn stuff when we left the hospital. However, he gained weight really quickly and was 9 lb, 22" by one month. So he was probably in newborn clothes for about 4-5 weeks.
DD was 7lb 6oz and she wore NB for maybe 3-4 weeks? DS was 7lb15oz but dropped to 7lb2oz - he was 11.5 pounds by a month though. I did manage to shove him into NB for 2-3 weeks.
