White Rose Blooming (12 Weeks)

Every Tuesday while you're in the hospital, we'll take a picture with your pug so that everyone can see how much you are growing!

You are still a little bit bigger than 12 inches long, and you weigh 2lbs 7oz!!!

Your twelfth week was an exciting one. You were breathing on your own nearly all week, and it looks like you'll never need help again. Your eyesight is beginning to improve, thanks to a laser eye treatment. You ate from the bottle for the first time this morning, and you loved it! And, you gained nearly half a pound this week!

Your Pop Pop got to hold you for the first time this week! You also got your first real bath, and both your mommy and daddy got to help clean and dry you. And, you mommy changed your diaper for the very first time.

In the next week, we're praying that you'll continue growing and that you'll learn to eat completely with the bottle and get rid of that feeding tube.

We love you!

I think this week is the most drastic change yet! Go Gwyneth!

Julie Nickerson said...

WOW!!!

It looks like the pug shrunk! This is the most dramatic one so far!

I love her little outfit too! She looks more and more beautiful each day.

Praise God she is now starting to eat from a bottle!

Ok did you save the first bottle? I saved our twins first bottles and the first ones they finished completely any "little" thing to celebrate. We parents of preemies know, nothing is "little"!! Go Gwenyth! Get BIG!! (Hey just heads up... if you save those bottles you will NEVER have to buy a toy bottle! Just a thought :) Praing for Tricia today

Katy said...

Wow, have you been feeding all the pug's food to little Gwyneth?

Julie said...

Man, I didn't see this post yesterday...Good one! I started reading some of the comments and just laughed and laughed. People must have thought you all were feeding Gwyneth "Miracle Grow" or something!

As a big fan of April's Fool's pranks....I give this one a thumbs up!

Carey said...

OH MY GOSH- You got me. I'm a blonde and didn't realize it until you posted April Fools! It was the best Fools I've got all day!

Laura said...

My son (20 months) always points to the stuffed pug in these pictures and says, "doggie" this week was the first time he pointed to Gwyneth and said "baby" :)She's really been growing a lot--OK, I do realize the doggie is smaller, still though. :P

Chris said...

omg Nate, she has grown exponentially! She's passed the pug!! YAY! :-)

My son did the same thing - he was only 4 weeks early, but he went from little old man to chubby baby it seemed overnight...and that was almost 14 years ago :)

I am so happy! God has blessed you mightily....Gooooo Gwyneth! :)

I was out of town and unable to get to your blog for a few days and have been so impatient to get back to work to check the updates!

I have decided that you switched Gwyneth's big pug out with a miniature version! She looks awesome!!

Lots of hugs, loves and prayers from Florida!!

Kim said...

All I can say at this point is WOW.

Ok I can say more than wow... this is the most ebautiful thing I have seen in a long time.

Thank you for sharing, really... thank you.

Andrew and Brooks said...

I thought you had done something to the picture because she looks so big compared to her pug. Amazing to watch week by week, God's hand on her little body!

What an amazing little girl!! Clearly very loved. My prayers go out to all of you.

April B said...

that little bugger or pugger is shrinking...

The Burgi in VA Beach said...

Haha. Looking back at these comments... "Looks like you switched pugs on us!" etc. They had no idea! ;-) That was a great prank, Nate.
