Day 111

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2790 grams (6 lb 2.4 oz) today, up 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 47.9 grams (1.7 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm gaining so well that the nurses want me to teach some of the other babies how to gain weight.

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 55 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 440 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 14.9 oz. I nipple fed 15% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 55 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. I know it's a lot of work Mom, but keep on pumping! I'm worth every drop! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 3 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 25% oxygen.

Cheerio Mommy and Daddy. I know that you enjoy our visits as much as I do, so please come back soon.

A million hugs,
John Michael
