"He's Growin' Up!"

We had another weigh-in for Whit last night. I've never watched it, but have seen the advertisements for the show on TV - "The Biggest Loser."

Well, last night we had the opposite. When Whit was discharged from the NICU, we bought some baby scales - and they convert into toddler scales. So, we have weigh-ins to find "The Biggest Gainer." Our hope is always that it will be Whit!

Since we have started Whit on his appetite stimulant, our hope has become reality! Last night, Chap was first. He said, "My turn..." So, he stepped on the scales, and it read 30 lbs 5 1/2 oz. Then, came Whit... as soon as he stepped on the scales, and we heard the drum roll in our minds - it read Lo batt...

So, we changed the battery and tried again. He weighed 21 lbs 10 oz!! He has gained 3 lbs in 3 weeks! Maggie weighed 38 lbs 3 oz. Whit became our "Biggest Gainer."

As Whit stood on the scales, and we were thrilled with his gain, Maggie said, "He's growin' up!!"
