make sure you're sitting down before you read this post, because it's just. that. awesome!!!!!

saw paeds today. for the dreaded weight check. and....

ready for this?

13.8kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE GAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this means that i am not giving him chocolate bars and ice cream and buttered mcdonald's hashbrowns for nothing!!!! and even though he doesn't like to eat all the time, what he does eat is gross enough that it's working!!!!

this also means.....

HE WON'T BE GETTING A TUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh, i can't even put into words how happy that little nugget makes me!

this also means...

asher is actually climbing the growth chart!!! two months ago, he was at the 10th percentile for weight. he is now nicely at the 15th, which is within the "normal" range. and yes, you read that right, asher can actually be described as "normal." mark this day down in history, folks. asher has never been described as "normal." ever. by anyone. for any reason. ever. so this is a miracle.

this also means...

that i can take FTT (borderline) off his list of conditions on the sidebar!!!

thank-you, everyone, for your prayers/vibes/crossed crossables. today was an absolute gift from God, because only He was able to ensure that asher would gain anything while barely eating. it's wonderful news!!!! i can't even tell you how thrilled i am, and how proud i am of my littlest man today! as soon as i saw the number on that scale, i scooped him up in a giant squeezy hug and started kissing him till he almost peed from laughing... then told me to put him down. LOL

today is a wonderful day.
