So, my midwife came today for my one-week postpartum visit, and to weigh Mikey and do the second half of his newborn screen. Well, to my surprise, when we weighed Mikey, he was 3560 grams, which is slightly lower than his birth weight, and when we converted it to pounds, it was 7 lbs 13 oz!
Is something not right with this picture? We thought Mikey was 7 lbs 12 oz at birth, and now he has lost some weight and he's 7 lbs 13 oz?? We went back to the birth record and recalculated his birth weight from grams to pounds and found out we made a mistake. Mikey's birth weight was 3630 grams, which is actually 8 POUNDS EVEN. I'm gonna go ahead and take credit for pushing out that extra 4 ounces. I'll go down and edit the weight in my other blog post too. But this is the official word:

Okay, that explains everything. That extra 4 ounces of weight are what made Mikey look less like a newborn. Handsome little buddy.
Too funny. Well he is gaining weight well then, yes? Way to go little muncher!
Interesting...still a true sweetheart and you worked HARD for that extra 4 ozs!
okay, okay, I know everyone can't have 9 & 10 lb 1oz babies like me!! still did a great job though! :)
