Miss Piggy

Yesterday I took Jenna to get her 1 month check up (she is really 5 weeks old already). The doctor checked her over and measured her head and to see how long she was. We then made the journey to the scale where she was weighed.

Now for some background...

The week before Jenna was born I had an ultrasound because there was a lack of weight gain on my part over the last few months of the pregnancy. According to the ultrasound Jenna had also stopped progressing and was measured at being only 5lbs 12oz. After consulting my doctor and an obstetrition it was decided that it was better for Jenna to come out right away. So the next day in I go to get induced. After 4-5 hours of contractions and 10 minutes of pushing my beautiful baby girl was finally here. To the surprise of everyone she was 6lbs 7oz, not as small as they first thought. In the hospital she lost weight and was 5lbs 12oz when we left. After a week she was almost back up to her birth weight. At 3 weeks she was past her birth weight and was 8lbs 5oz. I thought man she sure is packing on the pounds. Well her weight yesterday was.....9lbs 10 oz. Yep, my child is no longer a small little baby.

I think I will change her name to Miss Piggy. She is also now 22 inches long. She has grown 2 1/4 inches in the past 5 weeks as well.
