Pudgy Par? (not quite...but working on it!)



Par had a weight gain of 2.7 ounces--not quite an ounce/day--but definitely an improvement from last time!!! Keep praying for continued weight gain-we go back for another weigh in on Tuesday.



We ran a few errands while out--we picked up Boo's birthday present and dropped off some items with our favorite hand-engraver. Par was a perfect angel during the errands--but did not enjoy his weigh in very much. Charlotte met us and saw Par in person for the first time--and then got to listen to Par exercising his vocal cords while we undressed him and weighed him in the lactation consultant's office. Thankfully he had gained weight or I might have also been exercising my own vocal cords.







The rest of the day was spent eating (Par, not me) and sleeping (both of us)--with a few visits from friends and family. Rusty, Par, Tiffany and I watched WE ARE MARSHALL last night--good movie--really sad, but good movie. Par seemed interested in the football, so in the next few days he is going to watch Rudy--we just want to keep things realistic for him.

Many of you know that Par received an i-pod while at 25 weeks gestation as a gift from his dad. Our cousin was kind enough to load over 7,000 songs onto it...yet, Par refuses to listen to any other song than The 12 Days of Christmas sung by a choir of children--we probably listened to it 20 times today--he screams out during the song sometimes as if he is singing--so it is worth it--but hopefully we'll get to the other 6,999 songs some day.

Please pray specifically for Ella today--for more info, ellawest.com

Thank you for your prayers.
Love,
Liz, Rusty & Par
