The Littlest Gainer


Colton made his weight! (That is a wrestling phrase borrowed from his dad's high school wrestling days). Colton weighed in at 7lbs 15.5 oz - 1/2 oz more than his goal. We are very excited and encouraged. Doc says we aren't completely out of the woods yet and we need to keep monitoring it but it looks good. So we go back Monday for another weigh in and the goal is 8lbs 2.5oz. (in other words, he should be gaining 1/2oz per day). Dr. Saul says to continue things exactly as we have been (but we can let him sleep an extra hour at night - hallelujah for mom and dad!)

Praise God for fattening up our kid! We appreciate your calls and prayers. We love you! Here is a picture of Colt from his first Easter and his first trip to church. He had a great time and seemed to like the singing.

Go Colton!! Keep on going, buddy! We are so thankful for answered prayers! We will continue praying that he keeps packing on those pounds (or ounces).

Great picture from Easter! You look wonderful!

Love you!
