At 4 weeks my boys weighed 10 pounds (6 pounds 14 ounces at birth) and 11 pounds (7 pounds 1 ounce at birgh) respectively. My pediatrician wasn't the least bit concerned about their weight gain - in fact he said they were doing great and I had great breastmilk.
I don't know how much different the weight charts are for girls, but I can't imagine that they are that different at 4 weeks. In my opinion, you have nothing to worry about (except maybe to look into a different pediatrician?)
How was her length compared to her weight? Did they tell you what percentile she was in for her height and weight compared to other babies her age?
Oh and by the way, both of mine spit up all the time too. And as far as I know, it isn't unusual for a newborn to gain a pound a WEEK when they're that age (both mine did).
