Weight Chart - Here We Come!!

Oh.My.Goodness.Gracious. I can not believe how much weight Natalie and Abby are gaining. It's really unbelievable.

Weighing in today:

Abby - 21# 2.5oz

and (and this is crazy), NATALIE - 21# 9.5oz

Can you believe it????

Let's take a moment to review. We started with Soy Wednesday evening, May 19 - two weeks ago. Just recovering from yet another weight siphoning illness, Natalie was a pitiful 19# 10.5 oz. Abby was at 20 pounds even. Do the math. In two weeks, Natalie has gained one ounce shy of an unbelievable TWO POUNDS. TWO pounds!!!! Abby has gained an also impressive One pound, 2.5 ounces.

To truly understand how impressive this is, you have to know that two year olds generally gain about 4 pounds - a year. What we are seeing is more along the lines of eight gain for an infant - when they are supposed to gain about 8 oz a week. It pretty amazing.

Needless to say, we are definately sticking with soy for a while. I am now ordering something called Bright Beginnings Soy. It's just like pedisure in that is is a complete nutrition and has about 240 calories per 8 oz. It's not available, however, in stores. I have to order it. That may actually turn into a good thing. Running to Target all the time meant every time I went I just HAD to buy something else - groceries, etc. Staying out of Target and Walmart will probably be good for our checkbook. Shipping is free from the place I am using (www. diapers.com) and they arrive very quickly. It's kind of nice having it simply arrive at my door:-)

We need to hit 22 pounds to make the weight chart at 3%. We have an appointment with the ped (who is going to be absolutely amazed) next Tuesday. I think we have a pretty good shot - especially with Natalie. Woo hoooooooooooooooooo.
