Day 170

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5400 grams (11 lb 14.5 oz) today, up 15 grams (0.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 37.1 grams (1.3 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 (24.3 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 55% 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. Mommy, you should be proud of yourself for pumping breastmilk for me -- it's just great! Since yesterday morning, I pooped once around 6 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a high flow nasal cannula with 25% oxygen.

So long Mommy and Daddy. Get your rest so you can visit me soon.

Love,
John Michael
