After about three weeks of frustration and going back and forth to our pediatrician's office because of their concern with Allie's weight, or lack thereof, we have made a significant breakthrough! When we began this saga on November 7, Allie weighed in at 7 lbs., 6.5 oz. Today, she weighed 8 lbs., 9.3 oz. This just goes to show that babies will grow in their own time, and over-educated people need to learn to throw their books and growth charts (that are outdated and inaccurate anyway) out the window! We will go one more time next week to make sure this week's growth isn't a fluke, and then we'll be home free until her regular four-month well child visit when she'll get her next round of shots--ick!
I am glad that our backward version of The Biggest Loser's weigh-in is almost over; Allie's no worse for the wear, but Mama doesn't enjoy running up the road for constant visits with our lactation consultant (even though we have fallen in love with her and know she is a God-send). Thank goodness for Michele and for the fact that the office is only ten minutes from our house!
