Zia was 6lb at birth and 4 days later was 5.5 for the first 2 months would hardly gain weight and it worried me and she was monitored every other week after a while I was told she might just me dinky for her age she was gaining weight every week and dr said that's all that that matters at the end of the day she is now 6 months old and only 14lbs 5oz . In a way it's good as her clothes last longer lol

@lammy- lol..that's looking on the bright side of things LOL!

My mom told me that the doctor's were crapping themselves they were so nervous about me. I was only 4lb 2oz when I was born. I was full term too. The only thing we could figure was that she smoked and my cord had a knot. I lost weight when I left the hospital and so my mom had to feed me constantly. She'd feed me, I'd cry and by the time I calmed down enough to sleep it was time to eat again. I barely slept and gained little to no weight. It got the point that the doctor's were afraid I'd die in my sleep from hypothermia if I wasnt warm enough. I'm not going to lie...I looked like I had Progeria.

Thanks girls! I appreciate your input! I just hate how drs make it seem worse. My friend said smaller babies take a little longer to put on weight sometimes. I am just feeding them now pretty much all the time. If they act hungry I'm just putting them to the boob. I was doing it every two to three hours before and now I'm just going by if they seem hungry. I find myself having a lot of anxiety today. So worried about every little thing. I love these babies so much it hurts!

Love you all!

I'm 8 weeks atm so we not telling anyone till our 12 week scan this time

@Lammy- how are you feeling?

@kristi-I'm curious how you are feeling too. Are you starting to feel better postpartum?

I am feeling better, a little tender still but am healing fast and well.
My tummy is shrinking like crazy, it's nice to start to be able to move around a little easier and also not to have heartburn!!! We are all adjusting to our new life together and it's amazing! The lack of sleep is totally worth it. Although I am nervous when my hubby goes back to work next week. We have a good system right now and he is such a big help!!! My mother will be staying with me part of the week ehen he returns to work so that will be nice.

Phatgurl, thank you dear!!
Good to hear you are concentrating on keeping yourself healthy and happy right now! That's so important to get yourself as healthy as possible for your future babies! All you ladies do an axing job of that! If only everyone took care of themselves before and during pregnancy for the sake of their children! Bless you all!
