9 pounds, 6 ounces!!! I can't tell you how happy I was to hear the nurse say those words at our appointment today! When he was born, Nikos weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces, but he had lost quite a bit of weight by the time we were discharged from the hospital (his last hospital weight was 8 pounds, 12 ounces... it's normal for newborns to lose weight like this). And then, at his 1 week appointment, he STILL weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces. I was freaking out, thinking I wasn't feeding my child enough and what a horrible mom I was. But he's gained weight! The doctor said she was very happy with his gain over the past week. HOORAY!! HAPPY DANCE!
