Day 147

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 4385 grams (9 lb 10.7 oz) today, up 75 grams (2.6 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 20.0 grams (0.7 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 75 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 600 ml (20.3 oz) for the day. I took all my milk by tube. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 75 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Keep up the good work Mom -- I really appreciate that great breastmilk! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 11 PM.

As of 12 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 34% oxygen.

Bye-bye Mommy and Daddy. Keep a picture of me with you so that we can be "together" until I get home. It will make us both feel better!

XOXO,
John Michael

PS: My nurse said shes's always happy to talk to you about me.
