Chunky Monkey!

At Mommy's group today (that's what I'm gonna call the breastfeeding support group from now on...) I weighed Monkey and she was 11 pounds exactly! That means she's gained 20 ounces in the past 14 days...holy cow! She's going to be at least 12 pounds by her 2 month appt...probably closer to 13 (her appt is on Nov. 17th). She has officially outgrown her newborn clothes, except for one outfit which is particularly large, lol. And most of the 0-3 month stuff fits perfectly now, although some is still huge on her. It's amazing how much clothing size differs based on brand. Newborn clothes typically fit through 8.5 pounds, but she was able to wear hers two pounds past that. And some stuff that's supposed to fit from 8 to 12 pounds is still HUGE on her, and she's 11 pounds! Weird. I am very happy we got 5 weeks worth of wear out of her newborn clothes, though! That's one thing I'll do differently next time is have a few more newborn outfits, because at the very beginning the 0-3 stuff was WAY too big and we didn't have much newborn stuff because we thought she was going to be too big! And technically, based on the tags, she WAS too big...but whatever! I have to say, the First Moments brand from Kohls is one of the biggest...also Circo brand from Target. Both run HUGE. Carters is pretty much right on, and Gerber runs about a whole size smaller than the tag claims. Ha, there's my 5 weeks worth of baby clothes experience, lol!

Okay, I'm seriously rambling. Sorry for being a bore! HAHA! :-P
