Weekly Weigh-In

Okay, it is Monday again. This means that it has been another week on our calorie intensive eating adventures with Lincoln.

Remember, our daily caloric intake goal is 1340 calories, based on Lincoln's weight of 28lbs. I have found that despite all of the additional calories you can "hide" in normal foods, it is still very hard to get a toddler to eat everything you hope that they would in a day...especially if they have decided that they don't want to... But we have had some successful days this second week.

Daily Calorie Totals:
Dec. 8th: 1209 cal
Dec. 9th: 1160 cal
Dec. 10th: 1441 cal
Dec. 11th: 1135 cal
Dec. 12th: 1143 cal
Dec. 13th: 951 cal
Dec. 14th: 1431 cal

Average: 1210 cal/day (compared to 1131 cal/day last week)

Lincoln's Weight: 28lbs 5oz (+6.5 oz over last week)

For giggles...My Weight: +18.5lbs (over pre-pregnancy weight)

June's Estimated Weight (based on her gestational age): 1.5lbs (she measured 1lb at the 22wk appt, so this should be pretty accurate).

So. All in all, things are looking good! We will attempt to keep up this weight gain (fingers crossed) over our holiday vacation. Because we are leaving town (this Thursday!) this will be the last "Weekly Weigh-In" post until after the New Year. I will still attempt to keep track of his calories, but will be unable to get a weight on him, until we return home from our vacation and have access to our digital baby scale again.

Now for a picture of our Christmas cutie-pie.

Well. He certainly doesn't look "skinny" in this picture, does he? ;)
