It Is Confirmed..

It is confirmed after our pediatrician appt today that we have a 17 1/2 pounder in the house! Woo hoo!!

I had to take Brant in for a follow up check of his ears (since he just got over a double ear infection)....and he weighed in at 17 lbs 9 oz. They are all so amazed by him, and it is so fun to watch!! This little man has gained over 15 lbs in 7 months. Can I get a What, What? :) WHOOP!! The doc loved how well he was just sitting on his own, and just hanging out looking at a book. :) She told us that he is already greater than the 25th percentile (and that is based off his real weight, not corrected for being a preemie). WAY TO GO BIG B!! :) We were trying to get him to the 25th percentile by his 9 month appt but now I guess we need to set a new goal...LOVE IT! :)

Based on the fact that Brant really did not even have a 3rd trimester (b.c of his growth restriction in the womb), he has seriously knocked it out of the park. We could not be more pleased with this little guy and his exponential growing ability. Maybe now I can stop being so incerdibly hypersensitive to his eating all of the time.....ha! :) But then that just would not really be my personality, would it? :)

God is SOOOO good, and we feel so blessed to be able to watch Brant grow so well that people say "Preemie, what preemie?" Thank you Lord!! What a great day!
