Birth: 10 lbs. 11 oz. 21'' long
Discharge: 9 lbs. 11 oz. 21" long
2 week check: 10 lbs. 2 0z. 22.5" long
Today's weight check: 10 lbs. 1 oz. 22.75" long
Since Preston wasn't up to his birth weight at his 2 week check, they made us come back for a weight check 2 weeks later. And as you can see, he actually lost weight. No wonder every time he is awake, all he wants to do is eat...the poor guy is starving. The doctor told us to put some rice cereal in some formula, and also gave us a prescription for an antacid, since Preston spits up like crazy, they think he has acid reflux. Then on Friday we have to go to the hospital and have a barium swallow test done to see where his acid reflux is occurring. I sure hope we can figure all this out. He needs to gain some weight...believe it or not!!

Handsome at any weight!
He's part Quinn - I'm sure that he will start eating any day now - that's what we do -unfortunately. If he doesn't, I have my great standard idea - bring him to Utah! I have no doubt that we can help him out.
i hope that the little guy keeps his food down soon and that his weight goes up.
miss you guys and wish we were there to play with you :) the other day ella was pretending to play with her friends and kept talking to drew...hahaha
Sad! Good luck with all of that
Poor guy, that barium swallow is not pleasant. I hope everything goes well, I am sure it will. Keep us updated!
I hope little Preston is doing better. Hang in there, he really is darling, love the picture!
