Chunky Monkey

Just a quick post to let you folks ease into your weekend knowing that Doug has put on another two ounces on each of the last two days, which puts him at 3lbs 12oz, officially double his birth weight. He did some more bottle feeding and a little ninny nuzzlin today, and welcomed me with a poop that would make any papa proud. I got to change him (never thought I'd be saying that) and dress him and get him good and snuggly before going back to work, leaving him just as you see him here.

All is pretty good in the Austin Wilsons' household and at St.David's NICU... but believe it or not, we could use those prayers aimed at Shreveport again, where Faye Schuler, my 92 year old grandmother now occupies the very same hospital room that my brother Clint vacated the week before, apparently having suffered a minor heart attack and possibly a minor stroke. My mom, ever the dutiful daughter, is keeping constant vigil with her, as she isn't the best patient in the world. So please send all that energy that has done so much for lil Doug to Betty Wilson to keep her strong and healthy during this incredibly trying time.

We love and miss you mom, and Duggie can't wait to meet his Meemsie in easier times for both of you.
