Gaining on you

Emmie had her one-month follow-up appointment with the GI doctor today. Seeing as I have been stuffing food or a boob in her face every time she turns around, I had no fear about her weight gain.

Little Miss Failure To Thrive topped the scales at a hefty 15 lbs 6 ounces, which is 1.5 pounds more than she weighed a month ago, and puts her in the 12th percentile for weight. Go Emmie!

She's also up to the 75th percentile for both height and head circumference. So I would say she's thriving. Doctor said she looks great and wants to see her gain even more as she has some catching up to do.

He told us to keep doing what we're doing with the food and even bump it up a little bit, giving her more food at each sitting.

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to me. I don't get to eat as much as I want at any sitting. I also don't get to eat any dairy yet. He said this is on the young side to outgrow the milk protein intolerance; most kids outgrow it between 12-14 months.

Oh pizza, how I miss you. And chocolate shakes. And grilled cheese.

I am going to weigh about 300 pounds after I wean this kid with all the forbidden foods back on the list.
