Well Jamie, Momma and Me made it through the first 2 weeks. We took him in for his check up Friday and found out that he's gained back his birth weight plus 6 ounces for a net weight gain of 1 lb 1 oz in two weeks (he lost about 11 oz immediately after birth). He's also grown a half inch in length and his head is bigger around, I forget the exact number.
I work with all kinds of data every day. Lets play with some of Jamie's data just for fun. Let's imagine Jamie has a linear growth rate...
* At 1/2" in 2 weeks, Jamie will be 34" after 1 year. By the time he is ten, he'll be 12' 6" tall. NBA watch out.
* At 1 lb 1 oz in 2 weeks, Jamie will be about 44 lbs at one year. By the time he is ten he would weigh around 280 lbs. He'll take the summo wrestling world by storm!
Momma, you'd better stock up on food and extra extra long clothes... (Thank God, growth rates are not linear!)
