Day 171

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5500 grams (12 lb 2.0 oz) today, up 100 grams (3.5 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 37.1 grams (1.3 oz) per day over the past 7 days. You should be impressed by the way I'm gaining. Everyone is complimenting me for the great job I'm doing.

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 90% 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 3 times and the last time was around 3 AM.

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

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

Love,
John Michael

PS: I took all my bottles last night!!!!!!! And, I am on 1 liter vapotherm now! My nurse is so proud of me :)
