Is this normal? Or should I put a girdle on Captain Marvel?

I've had a few days like that, but when it happens in my patch it means I measured wrong the day before.

I thought I had 8 lbs a day, until I measured today to find very little growth.
Yep, I found that I added wrong 3 days ago. I am only getting 3.5 lbs a day. That is more the norm.
I would double check your math from when you last measured.
