Growing Like a Weed

Remember our skinny little guy???

Anders at 1 week old, and only 6.5 lbs.

Yep, our little guy had such huge issues nursing that he lost 1.3 lbs in under 7 days. His birth weight was 7.8, and by 4 days after birth we found out that he was losing weight quickly and his bloodwork was not doing too well.

Needless to say, he is now a huge noodle baby! At 3 months he is 26.5 inches and 14. lbs. He can still get into some 0-3 month onesies, but he is in 6-12 month pants! I am guessing his height comes from S (6'2") and I (6'), but that's just a guess...

We are so thankful we were able to figure out A's feeding issues. I no longer feel like not nursing makes me an epic failure as a mom, and seeing the look of excitement on our pediatrician's face when she sees how huge A is, makes me feel like we have finally overcome all of our frustrations and that all of those tears the first few weeks were completely worth it.
