Monthly Weight Check

Today was another monthly weight check for Autumn. See, she was born weighing 6 lbs. 1 oz. and though she is growing at a normal rate in height she had only gained 2 pounds up to her 2 month check up. Her doc had us change her formula mixture to give her more calories. By her 4 month check up she still only weighed 10 lbs. 10 oz. Still only 1 lb. a month average gain. So her doc had us start putting cereal in her bottles with Karo syrup. That was 2 weeks ago. She had a weight check today and has gained almost a full pound in just 2 weeks! I am so happy! If her weight doesn't start to pick up to normal we have to see a specialist to see if there is a problem somewhere like burning more calories than she can consume or more serious underlying conditions. So needless to say.....we are very happy!!! She now weighs 11 lbs. 8 oz. Woo Hoo!!!
