Time to Eat!


Eli has been doing well. Yesterday the doctors gave him a little pedialyte to get his stomach ready, and today he got the real thing! This is good because today I counted about 300 bottles from mommy in our freezer (we had to get a freezer just for this purpose)! Sorry if that's too much information but I think it's funny & amazing! Anyway, Eli can now really start putting on the weight. He was born at 1 pound 15.4 ounces and now weighs around 2 pounds 1 ounce.

Congratulations Will & Jenny
Praise the LORD! What a mighty God we serve. Both of my boys were premature so I truly understand where you are. Now they’re big teenagers and it’s hard to believe they were that small. God is so awesome!

WOW! What an amazing week! Kangaroo hold! How sweet and precious is that picture! Wow Jenny...300 bottles! You could sell that stuff! Ha ! Just kidding! You look so good in the pictures. Eli looks so big in his bed but when you hold him he looks so little. You are such a great mom and Will, well let's just say you are so good at writing on the blog. You are really such a great guy. I am so glad that God put you in Jenny's life. He know exactly what we all need. Eli is blessed already by such wonderful parents. We pray daily for continued growth and great progress for Eli. God is great! Love to all of you at the Watrous Family Inn ! Jan Lowery
