I’d like to go on record that I think Claire now weighs at least 10.5 pounds and more likely 11. Husband and I have a bet (though we haven’t decided exactly what to wager on), and he thinks she’s still less than that. Her last weigh-in was two weeks ago, and she was nine pounds exactly. Her body is so much more substantial (I notice it in her hands especially, which are much larger and more controlled in movement), now that she is eating larger meals. Her intake has increased 2-3 ounces per day as well. It’s so good to see her thrive — not that she wasn’t before, but it seemed more arduous because of the colic. I’m not ready to declare that the colic is outgrown yet, but we’ve made great progress.

Oh, God. That puts into better perspective for me Joey’s birthweight of 10 pounds, 1 oz. I was trying to give birth to a 2-monther! No wonder I couldn’t do it naturally. 😛
How about: He wins, he gives you the weekend off. You win, you take the weekend off.
