help, baby not gaining enough weight
"Naomi Pardue" wrote in message
... I am not looking forward to having 5 teenagers all taller than me! I have lots of friends who have kids taller than they are. So I always tell Shaina that I am not going to allow her to ever be taller than I am... that I will cut her off at the ankles and work my way up, if necessary. (We fortunately have a while to go before I'll have to decide whether or not to carry out that threat. She's 11 and still a good foot shorter than me.) LOL! Both my boys are looking to be over 6' before they graduate high school. They'll probably be taller than me by the time they're 14 or 15 at the rate they're going. I'll have to cut them off below the knees to keep 'em shorter than me. Fortunately, I have experience in taller-than-mother teenagers, albeit from the other side of the equation. I topped my not-quite 5'2" mother by the time I was about 13 or 14. -- Be well, Barbara (Julian [6], Aurora [4], and Vernon's [17mo] mom) "Nobody died when Clinton lied." -- freeway sign This week's special at the English Language Butcher Shop: "They walk with an unsteady, shambling gate." -- Article in the San Diego Union Tribune All opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.

Aw how heavy is Caterpillar? Less heavy than I'd thought - only 12 1/4 pounds at her 2 month WBV today. She's pretty long, though - 23 3/4 inches. That must be why she's in bigger diapers and wraps than her weight would indicate. If she's been gaining consistently, she was only 11 pounds when we put her in size 2s, and they start at 12 pounds.

If she's been gaining consistently, she was only 11 pounds when we put her in size 2s, and they start at 12 pounds. I always found the advertised weights for diapers to be vastly overoptimistic. I always moved my kids up to the next diaper size when they weighed about 2 lbs. *less* than the lowest advertised weight for the size. Doing otherwise meant diapers that either wouldn't stay closed or leaked. -- Be well, Barbara (Julian [6], Aurora [4], and Vernon's [17mo] mom) "Nobody died when Clinton lied." -- freeway sign This week's special at the English Language Butcher Shop: "They walk with an unsteady, shambling gate." -- Article in the San Diego Union Tribune All opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.

Wow Caterpillar is almost the same size as my Jessica was at that age.
She was 12 lb 4 oz and 23.5 inches long. It seemed really big to me as my first dd started much smaller. KC Phoebe & Allyson wrote in message ... Andrea wrote: Aw how heavy is Caterpillar?
