Thriving.

For the last month I’ve been saying “I wonder how much Reese weighs now!?” because, duh, she’s been growing.

But the thing is, she’s been growing A LOT.

Remember how I mentioned on facebook that at her two week check she had already gained a pound?

Well, last Thursday Reese had her 2 month check-up.

{Yes, TWO months…I know…I KNOW!}

Homegirl is weighing in at 12 lbs, 8 ounces.

That puts her in the 90th percentile for her weight.

She started at 7 lbs, 3 ounces.

My head kind of exploded.

Then in my head, I gave myself a pat on the back.

The night before her appointment the girls & I were at a park. Another mom came up and asked how old Reese was. I told her eight weeks. She looked at Reese, then back at me and says in the sweetest voice it was sickening, “Wow…she’s sturdy!”

Sturdy!?

Yes…STURDY.

I was telling her pediatrician the story and her jaw about dropped then she busted out laughing. She said she wouldn’t call Reese sturdy…she’d call her…thriving.

Apparently that’s the P-C way of saying your baby is a little chubster.

So, y’all, my girl is not sturdy. She’s thriving.

All almost 13 pounds of her. Got it!?
