Day 152

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 4575 grams (10 lb 1.4 oz) today, up 45 grams (1.6 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 40.7 grams (1.4 oz) per day over the past 7 days. How about this weight gain? Aren't you proud of me?

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 85 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 680 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 23.0 oz. I nipple fed 15% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 85 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. 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 once around midnight.

As of 3 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 35% oxygen.

Sayanara Mommy and Daddy. I need some kisses, so visit me soon.

Hugs,
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).
