Day 144

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 4205 grams (9 lb 4.3 oz) today, up 15 grams (0.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 17.1 grams (0.6 oz) per day over the past 7 days. This is an good weight gain, but I might be able to do even better in the days ahead.

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 70 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 560 ml (18.9 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 70 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Keep the breastmilk coming -- all those wonderful nutrients are so good for me. Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 3 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 33% oxygen.

Ciao Mommy and Daddy. I think I need some pictures around me, so please bring me some.

With all my love,
John Michael

PS: I love when my nurse tells me you called to talk to her. She says you should call anytime (except when she gives her report during shift change).
