Is this good for weight gain?

They weighed LeeAnne at the hospital tonight. She's 3 weeks old and was 6lbs2oz @ birth, was 5lbs13oz coming home and was weighing in today at 7lbs14oz. My mom seems to think thats a big weight gain for 3 weeks???

Hannah gained a pound in the first few weeks and my pediatrician thought it was fine. She was 8 pounds 10 ounces at birth and by a month I think she was over 10 pounds (though it may have been 6 weeks I'd have to check to be certain). She may have just been gaining back her birth weight in the beginning Honestly I wouldn't worry. I try to look at the overall picture (Hannah has some periods of rapid weight gain and than others of little to no weight gain but when looking at the big picture she's gained steadily)

Thats a fine weight gain. By 2 months Jasmine was 11lbs 3oz and my dr was freaking... she was only 6lbs at birth.
