Hello Baby, you feel much better today! You now weigh in at 6 lbs 8 oz. Your first memorial day weekend was eventful. We started off in the care by parent room. Mommy and Daddy loved it, because we got to spend so much time with you. I think you liked it too, because you were held basically 24-7. You may have been little spoiled. This less wonderful part of the weekend was the boring room you were in. Trust me, you will like home much more. You started off great eating above you fluid goal. I think this may have worn you out, because the second day you dropped a little, and even more the third day. You began to rebound on day 4 but it wasn’t quite enough. We were moved back to a normal hospital room and you were given a feeding tube back. As soon as you got your belly full again you took off. It was clear you felt better. You ate really well yesterday and then got a little tuckered out by night time. My friend here says you just are a little inefficient in your suck pattern. That’s no big deal and you can catch up in no time. I think we can hang here another week and practice more eating. We aren’t worried and are still amazed at what you have overcome. We are still just as proud, and definitely love you just as much. Everyday you are mu highlight. You are simply beautiful and amazing. You keep learning and we can get home in no time.
