Yesterday was Parker's one week birthday. We had his follow-up doctor's appointment, and everything was great! He has gained 9 oz. since we left the hospital on Saturday, and Dr. Weed said he'd probably exceed his birth weight in a couple of days. They want them to be back up to birth weight by 2 weeks.
We LOVE our pediatrician. He was very gentle-Parker didn't even flinch when he did the exam. He said everything looked perfect, so in the words of his Marmee-"Now we have medical confirmation that he's perfect." He also gave him bonus points for behaving!! Hopefully we won't have to go back until his 2 month appointment.
Things are still going great here! We really appreciate all the prayers, food, and visits. I'm posting some pics of a few of his visitors.
This is him after the dr.'s appointment...
The Stogsdills and Bells came out this week to bring us dinner. It was great to get to visit with them. Parker and Zane got to hang out some more-they were both very well behaved.
Zane: "Maybe if I just hold his hand he'll stop all that crying..."

A couple of years ago, who would have ever imagined that this would be our life?
A visit from Cousin Lily-she wanted to hold him the entire time! Throughout my pregnancy, she would say, "I can't wait to meet Parker." She is definitely in love with him! Courtney and Mom were having to force her to let them hold him!
Allyson,
ReplyDeleteYou do NOT have to lie or make excuses for my child--he was NOT well-behaved! He was a fuss-pot the whole time we were there. I'm sure the three of you let out a big sigh of relief when our loud crew left. It was so good to see you and baby Parker again. He is just precious!
Love you!
Sarah
I think my namesake:) is absolutely precious!
