It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Baby Parker Week 28 Update

Happy New Year! We hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed the holidays.

We felt very blessed to be surrounded by our friends and family over the past couple of weeks and we appreciate that everyone has kept our little munchkin in their thoughts and prayers!

Reece and I had another appointment with our Specialist, Dr. Eller, today. We are thrilled to be able to say that Baby Parker is doing well and is growing. He is just under 2 lbs. now (gaining 10oz in the past 2 weeks) and has moved from the 13th to the 19th percentile (with 50% being average). While my cheeseburger craving may not be good for Mommy, it seems to be good for our little guy!! Both BP and my vitals were good. My amniotic fluid remains low, but constant. Dr. Eller was pleased with the progress and decided to hold off on admitting us to the hospital (yeah!!). In the meantime, we'll have weekly doctor appointments every Wednesday - enabling me to stay on bed rest at home for awhile longer.

So we continue our journey, day by day, with each week that goes by giving us even more hope that everything is going to be alright! Please continue to keep Baby Parker in your prayers! Until next time, XOXOX.

Love,
Christine & Reece
