Ruby, Christidee, and other weight worriers

[spaghetticat]

We had our 9 month appointment today and the doctor didn't make a big deal about her weight gain (or lack thereof). According to her appointments, here are her stats:
4 months: 14 lb, 7 oz
6 months: 14 lb, 12 oz (dr. was concerned)
9 months: 16 lb., 13 oz.

So she is still well behind average weight gain, but the doc said she is tall and slender and they like to see that. I don't know. I was happy that she didn't seem super concerned, so I hope this helps your worries a little.

And Cream, thanks for the well wishes earlier!

Wow, she's done a great job these past 3 months! Go Viv! I'm anxious to see what they say next Monday at our appointment too.

thanks! I always freak out but my dr never is concerned.
Luke was:
4m- 14lbs 1oz
6m- 15lbs 15oz
7m- 16lbs 7oz
8m1d (sick) 17lb 4oz
8m11d (pneumonia) 16lbs 2oz
8m19d (saturday) 17 lb 1 oz

he's hovering around the 10th percentile.

Oh spaghetti, I'm so glad to hear it! I know it doesn't one hundred percent ease your mind, but it's good to see they're not concerned and they just think it has to do with the way she's built. I will keep my fingers crossed she hits that big growth spurt soon and you can relax even more. Have a cupcake tonight, lady, you deserve it!

Looks awesome! She gained a lot the last 3 months.

Fantastic Viv!! That's great progress. Do you feel a bit better about it now?

Mine has grown a lot in length (finally) but he didn't gain weight at all since 7 months. Oh well, as long as he's growing in one direction. What are Viv's % stats?

[thedahliharpa]

I'm happy for you! So glad all is well.

[mrsjaymay]

She has done so great these past 3 months! Yay Viv!

Edie's stats:
4m - 12lb 5oz
6m - 15lb 5oz
8.5m (today) - 16lb 12oz with clothes on (ear recheck appt)

I'm SO glad there are so many other weight worrier mamas on here. It eases my anxiety a little bit!

[jaime183]

all these little ones are gaining! She'll be fine I bet
