Day 187

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 6310 grams (13 lb 14.6 oz) today, up 20 grams (0.7 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 45.0 grams (1.6 oz) per day over the past 7 days. How about this weight gain? Aren't you proud of me?

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 35% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I took 40 ml by nipple and I was given 50 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! I haven't pooped since yesterday morning, and the last time I went was around 3 PM on 8/19. My nurse says it's no big deal if I don't poop every day.

As of 7 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 100% oxygen.

Sayanara Mommy and Daddy. Your visits make my day!

Love you lots,
John Michael

PS: Call anytime you want -- my nurse and I love to hear from you.
