Day 166

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5275 grams (11 lb 10.1 oz) today, up 35 grams (1.2 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 52.1 grams (1.8 oz) per day over the past 7 days. My nurse gave me a gold star for my weight gain.

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 90 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 720 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 24.3 oz. I nipple fed 47% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 90 ml by nipple. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. I'm so glad you're giving me breastmilk -- it's the best food for me! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 6 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 30% oxygen.

Adios 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!

A million hugs,
John Michael

PS: I did such a great job with my bottles last night!!! By mouth, I took 70ml at 9PM, 90ml at midnight, 35ml at 3AM, and 90ml at 6AM!!!!! Diana was so proud of me :)
