First family photo!

This was taken tonight after another bottle feeding. Weston has
progressed to 3 bottle feedings a day now(with tube feedings in
between) at 20 cc! Praise God! The nurses have told us that Weston's
fussing is due to being hungry! He wants more than he is being given
which is a good sign. At each feeding he will get one more cc unless
he has trouble digesting. Being able to feed Weston his bottle was so
much fun! Both Andrew and I learned how to do it today. Since he is so
little it requires a different technique and different things to look
for. But he has a great suck now and loves food according to the nurse!

Thank u for your prayers for today. It was so hard to leave our little
boy behind this afternoon, but he is in such good hands. We are so
grateful for the care and love he is getting.

We r both so exhausted so that is all I can write for now. Nite!

What a beautiful family. I'm praying for Weston--and for you guys. What a tough ordeal; but God is faithful.

I'm loving reading all about Weston's progress and looking forward to seeing photos of the day he will go home with you!
