At this stage, Little Sweets is gaining roughly 28g of weight everyday. He/she weighs roughly 6lbs (the size of a very large yellow melon) and is 18.5" in length.
At the end of this week the baby will be 'full term'- Hurray!!! A baby born before 37 weeks is considered 'premature', a baby born between 37 and 42 weeks is considered 'full term' and a baby born afer 42 weeks is considered 'post-term'.
Today was Dennard's first Father's Day. I was so excited for him!! In the AM before church I gave him a great big hug and kiss and wished him a Happy Father's Day on behalf of Little Sweets :-) With a shy face and a big ear to ear smile, he said "Thanks!!!". It was very cute!
He was also blessed by a bunch of Father's Day texts this AM from some of his friends and family-he really appreciated that!
We had a special Father's Day tribute for all the daddy's at church this morning. I called all the father's up to the front and read two beautiful Father's Day poems ("Walk a Little Slower Daddy" and "My Daddy is a Christian"). Before presenting each father with their gift, I read the scripture I had included with each gift (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
We had more daddy's than what we had known/expected, so we were short gifts :-S Dennard was sweet enough to forfit his gift to bless another one of the dads. I felt horrible that he didn't get a gift with the rest of the father's, but I had another gift from Little Sweets waiting for him at home :-)
I have included a picture of Dennard and the other father's in the church below:-)

I was planning on taking Dennard out for a Father's Day brunch after the morning service, but there were two guys in the church who were open to fellowship, so I encouraged Dennard to hang out with them. We could always do our brunch another time :-)
This evening after Sunday PM Bible Study, back at our home, I presented Dennard with his first Father's Day gift- a picture frame that reads "I Love My Daddy".
Dennard may hate taking pictures, but he really appreciates and enjoys looking back on them. With that in mind, I thought a picture frame to hold a picture of him and the baby for his office desk would be a nice idea.
Here is a picture of the proud daddy of Little Sweets holding his first Father's Day gift!!!
(with a white dad and child in the frame!!! lol Too funny!!!) I cant wait to put a picture of Dennard and the baby in this frame!
