Day 157

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 4900 grams (10 lb 12.8 oz) today, up 125 grams (4.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 35.0 grams (1.2 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 85-90 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 715 ml (24.2 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 19% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 10 ml by nipple and I was given 80 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. I really appreciate all the breastmilk you are giving me. As the saying goes "Breast is Best"!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around midnight.

As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 29% oxygen.

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

Loving you always,
John Michael

PS: I took 25ml at the 3AM feeding, and 10ml at the 6AM feeding. I was pretty sleepy and fought with Diana a bit for the bottle last night. She's getting paranoid she's lost her touch!!!! :)
