Hello Baby, you had a great weekend. You gained 75 grams over the weekend and you now weigh in at 3 lb 1 oz. You are loving your food and growing fast. I really think you have enjoyed the new style of vent you have. I think it helps you grow. You sleep better and seem to be much more comfortable. You adjusted to it so well they have changed your vent to work a little less for you. You are no longer being given breaths. You are now on a C-Pap machine. It just holds a constant positive pressure. You are actually doing all the breathing on your own. This is a huge step and everyone is excited for you. Because of the change the staff decided to bump your oxygen up just a bit to help you adjust. You are currently at 25% and handling it very well. So you have had an eventful weekend, and I hope you can relax a little this week before anymore changes.
I got to give you a bath on Saturday. You are finally starting to enjoy them a little more, or at least hate them a little less. I really enjoy them because you wake all the way up and look around and have great expressions on your face. My Aunt Linda, Nana’s sister, came in from out-of-town to see you. You seemed to like her, and she really loves you. She is really funny and as full of love as anyone I know. You held on to her hand and looked at her when she spoke to you. She is a miracle baby too. I will tell you all about it one day, or maybe I will just let her tell you. Mommy held you Saturday, and I had to work all day Sunday and didn’t get to see you at all. Sometimes its easier than others to be away for a full day. This one wasn’t that great, but I hurried over to see you the next morning. You were peacefully asleep and looked great so that makes me feel better. You have done so well lately, keep up the great work, but don’t forget to rest! We love you and you make us so proud.
