Did I shrink?

Hey, I thought I was supposed to get bigger once coming out of the womb! But all around I measured smaller at my first doctor visit today. My length is 19 1/4 inches (25th percentile), weight is 6 pounds 4 3/4 ounces (10th percentile), and head circumference is 32.8 cm (10th percentile).

This, despite the fact that I haven't had a #2 in 2 days, due to a special Chinese postpartum diet that Mommy is on that bans vegetables and fruit. It has left me - er - backed up. My doctor told her to stop this, so she had a big salad after our appointment. Now I'm having a BM in practically every diaper change!
