Can I brag about my piglet?

My LO was born at 36 weeks weighing 5lb, 3.6 oz and I've heard a lot about precautions we need to take since she's a preemie and a small baby. Well today she weighed in at 6lb, 5 oz which means she gained almost 12 ounces in just 8 days! Woohoo! Grow, baby, grow! Looks like all those painful latches and cluster feeds are paying off! It's almost her due date and she will actually weigh a "normal" newborn weight when it gets here! Yay baby Lyla! Last week she had gained 4 ounces in 7 days which was just barely acceptable so this is big!

Congrats!  That really is exciting. 

My first was born 2 weeks early and less than 6 pounds so I remember well having to watch the scale in the first few weeks.

What a great weight gain!  My first was also under 36 weeks and under 6lbs.  It was a never ending job to watch his weight in the beginning.  Keep up the awesome work.
