9 days ago...

We left the hospital nine days ago. We weighed 6 lb 3 ozs.

First doctor visit 6 lb 5 oz.

Second doctor visit 6 lb 11 oz.

First weight on our new scale 6 lb 13 oz.

We will continue to weigh every 2-3 days corresponding with her bath night.

Tonite was bath night and change the tape on her face night. (She loves that!!)

Tonite, we weighed a 7 lb 0 oz child. Woohoo!!!!

Yes, we are 7 lbs!! That is 12.25 ozs in 9 days!! She is drinking anywhere from 45 to 60 cc's a feed. We were told to do 40. From day one, we got in more than that. Now she is voracious and eating very well.

She is currently mad at us for the face tape, but her nasal cannula was crooked from her wetting one piece of tape on her right side. This caused it to be in only one nostril. No problems of any kind with that. In fact, there were many times where she had none in her nose and never has ONCE set off any alarm!

We have had many false alarms, but not one single positive. This thing will go off and tell you she is not breathing while she is laughing at you pinker than a pig. But I am glad for it because it allows sleep. Without it I would stare at her all night.

But I think she will be off it and oxygen real soon. She is growing very well. I hope that we can keep this up. Another 10 days or so....8 lbs?? 11 by Christmas?

I will leave the Thanksgiving thing up one or two more days....some people only see the site at work.
