I just thought I'd post the progression of Hannah's weight gain or lack thereof. One of the perks of having a "sickly" child is that we've had plenty of opportunities to have Hannah weighed. Scott and I were quite surprised to have a "sickly" (a term we started using in the hospital) child that couldn't gain enough weight. I mean, seriously, how can a child of mine have a hard time gaining weight? :) Obviously, she isn't actually sickly anymore, but she's still quite little. And super, super cute.

Birth--12/18/10--7 lb 6 oz, 20 in (ob/gyn) or actually 19 in (NICU)
Hannah's lowest weight in the NICU was 6 lb 13 oz.

Home from hospital--12/24/10--7 lb 2 oz

9 day dr appt--12/27/10--7 lb 3 1/2 oz (24th percentile), 19 1/2 in (31st percentile), and 14.6 in head circumference (83rd percentile)

16 day dr appt--1/3/11--7 lb 5 1/2 oz (19th percentile)
This is the day the doctor started getting worried about her weight gain.

A few hours before ending up back in the hospital--1/9/11--7 lb 7 oz (as far as we can remember)

Last day in the hospital--1/17/11--7 lb 10 oz (we think)

1 month 1 day dr appt--1/19/11--7 lb 13 oz (13th percentile), 21 in (46th percentile), and 15 in head (75th percentile)
(This pic was actually taken on 1/18/11.)

1 month 8 day dr appt--1/26/11--8 lb 11 oz (39th percentile)
Almost 1 pound in 1 week and busting out of this newborn outfit! Yay!

Hannah was thrilled with her Valentines candy. :)

2 month dr appt--2/18/11--9 lb 12 1/2 oz (23rd percentile), 21 1/4 in (13th percentile--we don't believe this is accurate--she's taller), and 15 1/2 in head (68th percentile)

Lactation Clinic weight check--2/21/11 (TODAY)--9 lb 15 1/2 oz
Hannah is almost 10 lbs! Hallelujah!
Thanks for your continued prayers that have helped Hannah gain enough weight and turned her from a "sickly" baby into a healthy, chubby baby! :)

Loved this post. Mostly just for the fashion show. Love the teal dress. Super cute.
10 pounds is something for that little girl to be proud of! I also enjoyed seeing all of the cute clothes and the cute baby.
Hannah does have a nice wardrobe! Good to see the weight gain picking up speed - of course that's only good when you're going from a sickly baby to a healthy baby. My age - not so good.
She is looking SOOO good!! Great to see her filling out and growing. What a cutie!!
