Update on Isaiah's Weight

Today was my final midwife appointment (6 weeks and 5 days).  I'm kind of sad.  I'm going to miss Christine.

There's not much to report from the appointment on my part - everything looks healthy and good.  Hopefully my pap is normal, since I haven't had one in over 2.5 years.

Isaiah got weighed and measured.  He was 23 inches long (20 inches at birth) with a head circumference of slightly over 15 inches (13 inches at birth).  He weighed 12 lbs 7.5 oz.  So 12.5 lbs, basically.  At 6 weeks 5 days.  He was 7lbs at birth.

Geez Louise.

I'm so glad I make great milk that makes my babies thrive and grow, but it's sad to me that they have to get so big so fast.  I wouldn't be surprised if Isaiah doubled his birth weight already at 2 months old.  Isn't that supposed to be a 6 month thing?  

Birth - September 22
Weight - 7lbs
Height - 20 inches
Head - 13 inches

3 Days - September 25
Weight - 6lbs 13oz

5 Days - September 27
Weight - 6lbs 15.5oz

11 Days - October 3
Weight - 7lbs 11oz
Height - 20.75 inches
Head - 14 inches

18 Days - October 10 (his due date)
Weight - 8lbs 12oz

1 Month old - October 22
Weight - 10lbs 9oz
Height - 22 inches
Head - just shy of 15 inches

6 Weeks 5 Days - November 8
Weight - 12lbs 7.5 oz
Height - 23 inches
Head - just over 15 inches


Noah slowed down in the weight department after 2 months, so maybe Isaiah will soon, too.  However, Noah didn't grow quite as quickly as Isaiah, either.  Noah gained 6lbs in 9 weeks.  Isaiah has gained 5.5lbs in 6 weeks.  Yikes.
