Piper's 2 Week Check Up

Piper had her two week check up on Monday (yes, late posting as usual) and she was 3 oz. shy of gaining an entire pound in two weeks. Just a reminder Piper was 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 18.5" at birth. She is now 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 21" long. I was curious about the other girls at two weeks and here are their stats:

Téa
Birth: 7 lbs. 13 oz. 19"
2 weeks: 8 lbs. 20 3/4"

Calista
Birth: 7 lbs. 11 oz. 20"
2 weeks: 7 lbs. 4 oz. 20 1/2"
*Note: Yes, Calista was still losing weight after 2 weeks. This is when I finally realized that my surgery to remove my tumor left me with little to no milk supply on one side. The pediatrician said I had to supplement. Hence the reason for not even trying to nurse Piper.

So, needless to say Piper is my biggest eater and she is filling out nicely. I can already see a difference in her tiny body and she's already looking so different. She is now to the point where her night wakings are only about 30 minutes. Just long enough to have a diaper change and a bottle. I don't have to worry now that she might stay awake for a while. Ahh.

Geez, I didn't realize that your kids have all weighed about the same. That is crazy! The Pipester is definitely filling out! It is amazing how fast they grow!
