We had our follow-up with the pediatrician on Friday and discovered that the hospital incorrectly measured Oliver at birth. I guess it happens all the time. I had the nurses double and triple check this time so that his poor baby book isn't a scribbled mess.
Instead of 20 1/2 inches it turns out Oliver was 21 3/4 inches when he was born. We thought he was our smallest when actually he was our longest. And if he'd stayed inside a few more days, he probably would've been our biggest, too. {The goal for breastfed babies is to reach birth weight by day 14. Ollie was 8 lbs, 9 ounces on day 11.}
It's amazing how similar the stats are...
Buby: 21 1/4 inches, 8 lbs, 2.5 ounces
Bleu: 21 inches, 8 lbs, 7 ounces
Oliver: 21 3/4 inches, 8 lbs, 2 ounces
