You Always Round Up

Today we went and had another weight check. Drum roll please... 7 lbs. 2.8oz. Sooooo close, but no cigar. The nurse wrote on the little chart, or at least she said, 7 lbs. 2 oz. But, here's what I'm thinking. When she was born they weighed her and she weighed 7 lbs. 3.6 oz. and they said 7 lbs. 4 oz. So, if they round up her birth weight, it is only fair to round up her four week weight too, right?!! So, I'm going to say that at four weeks she weighs 7 lbs. 3 oz., only one ounce shy of her birth weight. And by Sunday when she is officially a month old she will undoubtedly be back to (and hopefully beyond) her birth weight. So it's taken her awhile to put on weight...someday she will greatly appreciate that fact! The doctor was pleased with her gain and didn't want to see us again until her two month check (I don't know what I'm going to do without my weekly doctor's visits, haha). And, I am pleased with the way she is eating and the way she seems satisfied after she eats. All in all, a great report - not exactly what I was wanting - but still a great report. She's just my itty bitty, petite little girlie... :)
