This morning we took Markus to the pediatrician for his follow-up visit. The main thing that the doctor wanted to check was his weight gain. Markus' birth weight was 6 pounds, 15 ounces, his visit roughly one week later was 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and today he weighed in at a nice 7 pounds, 4 ounces! The doctor said that Markus looks good and his next visit will be in 2 months for his immunization shots.
Markus' 8 ounces in one week was a 7.4% weight gain from his previous weight. If you were a 200 pound person, that is the equivalent of gaining 14.8 pounds in a week. Good for babies, BAD for 200 pound adults!
Here's a picture of Markus and his 7 lbs 4 oz:
