Megan, I emailed my sister to see what she has to say. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from her and any advice she has for you.

=) i really do hope to laugh about this one day. penelope is only in the
5th percentile for her body weight, which is why there is the concern. her
length i think she is 25th and her head i think is 35-40th, so those look
pretty good. penelope is a very active - almost constantly moving. and at
birth she was a brute - 9 lbs. 2 and a half oz. - though i hear that
probably was due to me eating lots during my pregnacy - i was so hungry
though!! =) anyway, im just gonna up the baby solids and keep nursing, and
i am over it with the mil. i called my husband and first he just laughed
and then said hed talk to her. i just dont want her to come again, so we
may go that route. anyway, thanks for writing!
