Well we went to our 2 week appointment today and Mr. Parker not only grew an inch, but he also gained his weight back plus some! He is a good eater like his Momma! He now weighs in at 8 lbs. 10 oz. and is 21 and a 1/2 inches long. He is a big boy. The doctor said that he is in the 75th percentile for his length and the 50th percentile for his weight. He also had to get his heel pricked for some blood work that they do at two weeks. Lets just say that daddy had to be the one holding him because I couldn't stand to listen or watch him cry. He was really upset for about 2 minutes and then he finally decided to be a little tougher and stopped crying. It broke my heart to see him so upset, but with a few calming words he was back to normal.
On a happy note, Parker loves his bath time. Each night I give him a bath, rub hi
m down with some good smelling lotion, and then put his PJ's on. It puts him in the happiest most calm mood and he just chills out while he waits for his next feeding. I can't wait until his umbilical cord falls off and then I will be able to give him a real bath.

What a BIG boy! Hudson is anxiously waiting to meet his other BFF! We will have to get together soon.
