Parenting after a Loss

Am I the only one with a chunky monkey??

Just curious...I see all these posts about pedi appts, and it seems like Jacob is so big compared to everone else's cuties.  At birth, he was 7 lbs 13 oz.  At 2 months, he was already at 13 lbs 6 oz.  We weighted him at home on Easter which is about 3 months, and he was about 15 lbs.  I'm curious to see how big he is at his 4 month.  Granted, he's also a long baby, and he's so happy.  I'm just wondering who all has big babies.  :)

  • Sophia's always been big.  She was 8 lbs. 12 oz. at birth!  At 4 months, she weighed 17 lbs.  At 6 months, she was 19 lbs.  She goes next Tuesday for her 9 month appt.  I'm expecting she's going to be about 23 lbs.
  • Umm, Leo was almost 17 lbs at his 4.5 month appt, so trust me, you are not the only one with a chunky monkey!!

    And he was only 6lb9oz at birth. :) And he's only in the 60th% for height, but 75th for weight. Now THAT is a chunky little guy! And I love every last roll on his adorable thighs....

  • Molly is a little chunker. She was 9lb 7oz at birth. At her 9 month appt. she was 23lbs. She is now in 24 month clothes and some of those are snug!
  • Lilly was 6lbs 15oz at birth and seemed to gain about 2 lbs every 2 weeks for a while there!  (we were at the dr. a lot)  At her 4 month appt. she weighed 15lbs 8oz.  She slowed down a little in her 3rd month.  She's in the 90th percentile, which I find so funny bc she was such a squirt when she was born.  She got down to 5lbs 14oz... but not anymore! 

    People love to make comments like "Boy, she's not missing any meals, is she?"  hardee har har.  Laugh it up, people.  Laugh it up.

  • My DS was 7lbs 11oz at birth, 14.5lbs at 2months. He is a chunky boy too!
  • Abs is on the "robust" side as the pedi called it.  She was 12 lbs 12 oz at the 2 month appt.  93 percentile....50% on height...
