72 days in the life of a preemie....

Yes, today marks the 72nd day of Jonna's life.

72. Wow.

Think about that.

2050 different checks by the nurses
94 trips to the hospital
over 600 diapers
over 115 blood draws
over 400 hours of staring
7896 miles driven
1728 hours of worry
over 30 nurses
6 books read
over 12 gallons of milk pumped
336 hours pumping said milk
1.6 lbs gained by her
75% beating the odds
2345 hairs lost ( I counted!)
1 foundation

A lot has happened in these 72 days.

We now weigh 3 lb 6 oz. We are taking in the equivalent of a 250 pound man eating 16000 calories, so hopefully we will start growing.

We are taking a bottle twice a day now. Once she tolerates that, 3, and so on until all by bottle and no tube in nose!!!

Looks like we will be getting baby-like here real soon!!!

1 baby. 72 days. A Journey that will continue ........stay tuned.

Wow.
