    Oh Miss Piggy I Love You

    This is just a bit of a WOO HOO from me as i am so damn excited.

    DD2 is 8wks today and we had her MCHN appt and boy has my little piglet grown!

    W: 4640g (+840g in 4 wks)
    H: 57cm (+3.5cm)
    HC: 38cm (+2cm)


    She is now 50th% for EVERYTHING
    MCHN had to DOUBLE CHECK her length as she thought she had it wrong, she said most bubs grow roughly 2cm a mth from this age and she nearly doubled that!

    I am so excited as DD1 was not a grower, very small weight gains and is still basically 10th% for everything (albeit with a 4yr olds appetite ), as an example DD1 was:
    W: 5130 (490g dif)
    H: 59.5 (2.5cm dif)
    HC: 40.5 (4.5cm dif)

    but wait, that was at 4 MONTHS OLD, if Z keeps growing at this rate she will be the same size as A 1.5mths before turning 4mths old!

    Odd post i know but i am wrapt, i finally have a grower, mum thinks maybe my gallstones while BFing A may have impacted on my milk?????
