I never understood the big deal with these things until now.
Lyla has a doctor appointment on Friday. I think she's getting bigger, and Julie really hopes she's getting bigger. My main concern about this appointment is that the doctor or nurse will say something condescending like, "Well, do you think you're feeding her enough?" All Julie ever does is feed her, so if Lyla's not at least back up to her birth weight, then Julie's going to feel like it's her fault.
But it'll be fine. She must be gaining weight because she's eating and pooping. End of story. Still, the real peace of mind will come when the doctor confirms normalcy. I keep offering to take Lyla to the grocery store and plop her onto one of those deli scales to see if she's making adequate progress. I could also take her to the post office, but people might get the wrong idea.
Anyway, I've been coaching Lyla on how to respond should anyone ever act snarky toward her mother.

Awww I love the Glow Worm picture. So cute! *steals for Facebook display*
Did you know that you can stop by the doctor like another neurotic mother that I might know intimately and have her weighed daily if you like!?
I could tell imediately with the first FAT baby that it wasn't a problem, but worried immensely with the second one. (it also turned out just fine)
