Idk how me, a broad and chubby woman from a long line of broad and chubby women, and my husband, an average-height man from long lines of very tiny women and very average men, managed to produce a child so exceptionally tall, long, & lean that she can't wear store-bought clothes anymore without alteration. Yet here I am, dusting off a sewing machine I barely know how to operate....

#personal #this kid put on 2 inches in less than 3 months y'all #which is about how much she's supposed to grow in a YEAR at this age #while also somehow gaining no weight #i mean literally NONE #she even dropped an ounce overall #so no it wasn't my imagination that all her pants suddenly became too short #while simultaneously getting looser around the waist #and yes we're on top of the weight thing; she has a whole med team helping us out #it's cuz we finally found one of her EOE triggers so now she's eating more diversely and the inflammation is reducing #so her body is getting excited to go for all that growth it was putting off due to lack of nutrients and calories #same thing happened as an infant when she started PPIs for the first time #on my mama's grave she went from 50th percentile to 90th in less than a month #she also has a documented history of massive growth spurts every time her dosage gets upped to match her current size #the lack of weight gain is a bit worrisome tho so we're working on upping her calories as much as possible #but anyway #if anyone has tutorials on Learning To Make Kids Clothes for complete noobs let me know #cuz clothes cost too much for how much they DON'T fit her
