So their entire lives (5 short weeks) their weights were of concern. I do now have confirmation that Ella stopped growing in the womb. Andrew and I guessed it all along, but they just said we had low fluid and that's why they were inducing us. However, the follow up hospital phone call, the nurse said Ella was making up for all the growing she didn't do inside. Bingo.
Ella:
Birth 8-13-13: 4lbs 13 ounces
At one point in the hospital was 4lbs 5 ounces.
At discharge 8-17-13: 4lbs 7/8 ounces
Next day appointment 8-18-13 : 4lbs 9 ounces
1st Peds Appt 8-19-13: 4lbs 11.5 ounces!
2nd Peds Appt 8-26-13: 5 lbs 2 ounces!!!!!!
3rd Peds Appt 9-3-13: 6 lbs 1.5 ounces!!!!!!
4th Peds Appt 9-16-13: a whopping 7lbs 5 ounces-- you have got to be kidding me! Bria- you better watch out!
Even though she is about 1/2 pound less tan Bria- she still feels much smaller..
Bria:
Birth 8-13-13 6lbs 10.5 ounces
At one point in hospital: 6lbs 4 ounces
At discharge 8-17-13 : 6lbs 6 ounces
Next day appointment 8-18-13 : 6lbs 7 ounces
1st Peds Appt 8-19-13: 6lbs 8.5 ounces
2nd Peds Appt 8-26-13: 6lbs 11.5 ounces
3rd Peds Appt 9-3-13: 7lbs 4.5 ounces
4th Peds Appt 9-16-13: 8lbs even!
Our pediatrician said she didn't gain a huge amount of weight, but she is gaining and eating appropriately and they sent concerned. They say they gain an ounce a day.. It was 13 days and she gained almost 12 ounces- doesn't seem that bad to me!
I am so incredibly proud of my little ladies!
