Let's Win!

**Update**
So, apparently Jimmy felt the pressure of being Biggest Baby 2012 was just too much for him. He still wants to be a little baby, at least for now - He only gained 15 grams - but thank the Lord he didn't lose any weight. The hospital staff really want to see Jimmy go home. He is SO ready! Praying tonight is the night of a good weight gain (and if not, a little birdy told me she'd weigh him with a wet diaper and put a finger on the scale to *ahem* help things along... :)

I'm very hopeful tomorrow (Friday) will be the big day!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jimmy gained 20 grams last night. And the Doctor came by to chat today, to see how I felt about where he is at with his eating skills, and to answer any questions I might have. She told me she was happy to see his weight gain last night, and if he is able to gain at least 20 or 25 grams at his weigh-in tonight she'd be comfortable sending him home tomorrow. if he gains less than that she'd want to keep him here for at least one more night of gaining. If he loses weight it'll need to be watched for who knows how long, and at least another two days in a row of gaining.


Whew! Somehow this feels like that weight loss show The Biggest Loser. Only in reverse. (The Biggest Baby?)

"In order for Jimmy to be the Biggest Baby, and be above 'the yellow line' he must gain at least Twent-five grams, and earn 'immunity'.


Then we'll have the chance to vote him right out of the hospital - for the title of 2012's Biggest Baby! He'll win the Grand Prize of one noisy, busy, snuggly, warm house with his very own family at his beck and call! Now let's see if Jimmy has done it.... "

Lets all ask The Lord to help Jimmy gain 30 grams for tonights weigh-in ----
We're ready to WIN! 


Go Jimmy! Go!
