Virg was 7 lbs. 7 oz. when he was born. At his last doctors appointment he was 8 lbs. something. I wanted to know how much he's grown since Thursday. Since Virg can't stand on my bathroom scale on his own I had to get clever. Here are some simple steps for weighing your newborn baby.
1) Get on scale holding Virg
2) The scale reads 201 lbs. 4 oz.
3) I know that I'd like to be around 180 lbs. or so.
4) Subtract 180 from 201
So Virg weighs about 21 lbs!
Wow... that is impressive. It's true what they say, cherish the time you have with your baby because they grow so fast.
