Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 3445 grams (7 lb 9.5 oz) today, up 20 grams (0.7 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 63.6 grams (2.2 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 65 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 520 ml (17.6 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 43% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 65 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Mommy, you should be proud of yourself for pumping breastmilk for me -- it's just great! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around 9 PM.
Adieu Mommy and Daddy. I love the way your voice calms me.
Lots of kisses,
John Michael
PS: Your calls are always welcome (except during change of shift, when my nurses need time to tell each other all about me).
