going against the norm

Posted on January 29, 2007

Mateo had his first check-up since being discharged from the hospital last Friday. He weighed 3.14 kg upon birth and we were very excited to find out how much he gained/lost. We were betting on a weight gain since he is definitely rounder though I’ve read that babies tend to lose weight during the first weeks of life. Well, I guess our little angel is defying that trend. His pediatrician was very surprised to learn that he tipped the scale at 3.6 kg! That’s almost half a kilo in 11 days! Ramil and I had this funny urge to put him on a diet. Hehe! Not all those pounds went to fatness though, his 48 cm length also increased to 52 cm. So it’s safe to say that Mateo lost no time in adjusting to the outside world.
