Shannon and I are amazed at how fast Graham is growing. When he was born he was 7 lbs, 9 oz. We were told that babies lose wait after they are born and then by the second week check up are normally back to their birth weight. So, at Graham's first check up about four days after he was born, as expected, he had lost a little weight and was down to 7 lbs, 3 oz. For the next ten days things where going well except Shannon was concerned because Graham was only feeding for 15 minutes at a time. Despite his noticable growth, Shannon was worried that he wasn't eating enough. Well at the two week check up all concerns were relieved. Not only had Graham regained all his weight, he had actually put on over a pound. His new weight of 8 lbs, 12 oz was a 22% weight gain in ten days!!
Considering that he isn't even due until tomorrow, July 13th, that is pretty awesome. Good thing for Shannon he was born early!
