Today was our second appointment at the pediatrician. It was mostly uneventful. Uma was 6 lbs. 9.6 oz at birth and also at the first appointment 9 days ago. Newborns generally lose weight immediately after birth and then regain it within two weeks, generally gaining about 4-8 oz per week. Uma's been chubbing up, so we were expecting her to clear 7 lbs. We were surprised and pleased to discover she's bulked up to 7 lbs. 7oz. That's 13oz. in just 9 days. My girl's a champion nurser, she is.
