Day 167

Good afternoon Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5320 grams (11 lb 11.7 oz) today, up 45 grams (1.6 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 41.4 grams (1.5 oz) per day over the past 7 days. You should be impressed by the way I'm gaining. This is just grand!

I was fed 8 times yesterday and I took 90 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 720 ml (24.3 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 48% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 20 ml by nipple and I was given 70 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Thanks for the breastmilk Mommy! I love it! I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around 6 PM on 7/30. I'm planning on pooping later today or tomorrow, and my nurse says that's just fine.

My last bilirubin was 0.3 on 8/1 at 6 AM and that's OK in my book.

See you later Mommy and Daddy. Please sing me a song the next time you visit.

A big smooch,
John Michael

PS: My nurse told me to remind you to call anytime you want.
