Full Belly

Last nite Weston gained a little more weight. He is now 5 lbs. 1.8 oz
and counting! Since he has been digesting well, the doctor increased
his feedings some more today and tonight he bottle fed 27oz and ate it
in under 5 minutes!

He is a different baby today so peaceful and content now that his
little belly gets more in it. It has been so painful to hear him cry
knowing it is because he is hungry! Praise God he is digesting so he
won't be so frustrated. He is also getting stronger and will bottle
feed every other feeding with one breast feeding a day!

This morning we breast fed again and he did so great! The therapist
says he is much stronger than he looks :) so we will try again
tomorrow and hopefully start doing 2 breast feedings a day soon. ( if
he doesn't get too tired)

We have met a really nice couple in the Nicu and have been praying for
eachothers babies. Their little boy was 2 days overdue and inhaled
meconium. He is doing better and hopefully will go home this week!
Chatting today, we discovered that they are looking for a church and
we told them about Grace! We exchanged numbers and once we both have
our babies home, they are going to come check it out! Please pray that
Dean and Kim would find a home at Grace if it is the Lords will.

Good nite!

That is so great! There is nothing outside of God's wonderful providence and care.

You are good when I’m poor and needy
You are true when I’m parched and dry
You still reign in the deepest valley
You’re still God in the darkest night.
