Hello Baby, you had another great day. You gained 40 grams and now weigh in at 2 lbs 15 oz. You are one little ounce from 3 lbs. I almost can’t believe it. You are a giant baby and have done so well lately. You had a couple brief moments today when the nurses had to turn your oxygen back up to 23-25% but they were also able to wean you back to room air pretty quickly. It seems you have a 3-4 hour tolerance of room air before you get a little worn out and need a little helpful bump in oxygen. I got to hold you today; I had a great time and you really slept well. I don’t think you pulled out any tubes today. Thanks for that. You were given bigger size wraps and bedding because they weren’t really able to keep you contained any longer. Your strength is too much for those little wraps to handle. Overnight the nurses also changed your entire bed/ box contraption. Those are only for “Tiny Babies.” You have upgraded to a big NICU girl. So, Congratulations on that. Mommy and Daddy went to a dinner at Kathy’s house last night. We didn’t have your big sis with us so we were able be adults and enjoy adult company. It turns out it may have been a little too long since we last did that. We enjoyed it and felt a little recharge from it. Nana came and saw you yesterday while I was holding you. Your grandmas sure love you and want for you to come home soon so they can increase their level of spoiling. You have a lot of love waiting for you in this world. Not everyone is so lucky, so always remember that and be thankful for you family and friends. We love you and you make us proud.
