Weighing in at

Poor Nolen. He has been sick longer than he has been out of utero. Not very sick mind you, just a common cold-stuffed up nose, funny coloured poo, same old, same ole.

After our well child visit after Nolen was born, we learned that he was gaining on average, just under 2oz a day. The average newborn gains 0.5oz a day. It was no surprise then, when visiting the doctor yesterday to check on the progress, or lack thereof of his cold, we learned that Nolen is just over 12lb. It was not a fully accurate weigh in because Nolen had clothing on. Doctors offices are obsessed with naked weigh-ins for children (I am glad this is not a trend for adults! I would never comply with that!)

So, even despite the cold, he is getting bigger, and growing more and more every day. Good baby!
