Proud Mummy moment

We had a paediatrician appointment today.

I've been worried about whether there was something wrong with DS3's weight gain. I'm paranoid, given our first two sons died from medical problems and various dramas at the end of this pregnancy.

Bub was 3.73kg at birth at 38 weeks. At 7wks4days, he is now 6.9kg! :o He's growing at a rate of about 400g a week. It's possible he will have doubled his birth weight by 2 months of age. He's 97% for weight and 90% for height. We're not small people but we weren't expecting that kind of growth. The paed says he's a strong, healthy boy. He's our chunky monkey :)

After everything that has gone wrong, I feel like we're finally doing something right.

That's ace. You go booby girl ;)

That is amazingly good news.

Fantastic!

:dance: :dance: :dance: way to go

great work! Mumma's milk is obviously doing its job :)

YaY :leap: go you good things go!

Yay! My heart sings to read this post! Very, very proud mummy moment!!!!!

I'm so glad you have had your mind put at ease about your little mans growth. It's a scary time for any new mum, wondering if everything is "normal" so I can only imagine the additional stress for you as dh. I'm so very happy there is nothing more too it than a little boy lovin the boobie juice!

Go Mama! And good growing chunky boy! Happy for you Hun. Xox

I've said it multiple times and I'll say it again...full cream ftw!! You're awesome :)

Our little man was born around the same time as yours about the she graduation. He was 3.5kgs at birth, dropped down to 3.3 and in the 6 weeks following birth he's gained 2kgs from that lowest weight. DH says I've got cream :-D. Chubby bubs are awesome

You are awesome. He is awesome. Just awesome.

(I can't think of another word that fits as much as awesome. So thats all I've got. Obviously.)

That's brilliant L&B! Well done :)

Naw. Congrats xx

I am glad I am not the only one that gets all gushy and happy when it comes to your mummy journey L&B!!! So thrilled that he is doing well... he is so blessed to have you and vice versa! Enjoy

Thanks all. It's nice to feel we're on the right track :)

after being weighed, he proceeded to projectile vomit all over me, so he may be 100 or so grams lighter than the scales said. Luckily we both had a change of clothes. Next thing to learn - product to remove baby spew from hair when you dont have time to wash it....

Woo Hoo! He sounds adorable :D

Oh just saw your update! Maybe not so adorable :lol: my youngest was a bit like that, I can laugh now! You're doing great.

Yay! Glad you're feeling good about it. He is doing fabulously.
