Day 179

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 5925 grams (13 lb 1.0 oz) today, up 80 grams (2.8 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 49.3 grams (1.7 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 90 ml at each feeding. I also nursed once. I received a total amount of 720 ml (24.3 oz) for the day. Aside from breastfeeding, I nipple fed 62% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 45 ml by nipple and I was given 45 ml by tube. 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 twice and the last time was around 6 AM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 50% oxygen.

Tootle-oo Mommy and Daddy. Please tell me a story the next time you visit.

XOXO,
John Michael

PS: I love when my nurse tells me you called to talk to her. She says you should call anytime (except when she gives her report during shift change).
