Wednesday Morning Good Feed....
It is 2:38AM on Wednesday Morning. She just took 45 cc's out of her usual 60 with no break, burp or issue. These AM feeds are when she is calm and does not fret. I wanted to update this for all the nurses back at NICU that I can't reach on the phone.
Since we have been home, we have not seen any major spit up like at the hospital. Wet burps, multiple wet burps, and slobber, but not a major spit up where she loses half her feed. That is so awesome. She also takes about 60 cc's a feed. She is actually voracious. Screaming for food and drinking bigtime. She is doing so well.
Also, weight gain. I know you were worried.
Last Hospital weight - 6 lb 3.4 oz
Friday doctor's office - 6 lb 6 oz
Saturday night bath - 6 lb 7 oz
Monday doctor's office - 6 lb 11 oz
Wednesday night bath - um, that is tonite, but I bet..... 6 lb 13 oz or MORE!!
She is eating like my fat dog, clamoring for more and really needing the food. She is very needy. She is used to the fabulous care of the NICU nurses and does not even want the blanket underneath her back to be ruffled or else she will let you know.
Tummy time exercises are going really well. She is holding her head up longer and longer and can turn it on sound with coaxing. You know how strong she is, in between meds, she can stand in your lap with reflux pain. Wow.
She gets to smell the wonders of Thanksgiving cooking tomorrow and Thursday.
Be sure to come to the site for the 1st Thanksgiving Day parade. Not really a parade, just a little holiday tribute to our little miracle and everyone who helped make her here now. Daddy will probably lose it.
