Day 30

Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 670 grams (1 lb 7.6 oz) today, down 20 grams (0.7 oz) from yesterday's weight. I lost an average of 4.3 grams (0.2 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm sure I'll get this gaining-weight thing squared away soon.

I'm 1 month old today! Can you believe I'm another month older?

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 1.5-2 ml/hr. In addition, I received a total amount of 42 ml (1.4 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. Thanks for the breastmilk, Mommy. You're the only one who can help me in such a special way. I can feel myself growing!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around 4 AM.

As of 4 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 27% oxygen.

Arrivederci Mommy and Daddy. I love when you come. Your visits calm me down and help me sleep better.

Until I see you. Love,
