Big Piggy!

Margaret had her 2-month doctor's appointment yesterday. I knew she had grown, but I had no idea how much! She is now 15 pounds 2 ounces!! She's also 24 inches long. In the 2 months since she was born, she's gained 6 pounds and 3.5 inches! Yowsers! Her doctor was not concerned as she is gaining weight all over and has shown consistent growth like this. I asked about over-feeding and was told that's just not possible at this time...that if she is tolerating it and not spitting it up, then she will tell me how much food she needs and I should give it to her. She's been taking 33-35 ounces of formula a day, which I read on the boards on Fertility Friend that some doctors were saying they don't recommend more than 32 ounces in a day. But as long as Margaret's doctor feels everything is as it should be, I guess I won't be concerned. She's just going to be a big girl!

OMG that's how big Liam was at his six month appointment. My boy is so small. He's 25th percentile. But, he eats over 32oz a day and did at Maggie's age, too. I think he just has his daddy's super fast metabolism.

She's so cute. I think I'm going to get a bumbo for the next kid.
