Day 210

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 6620 grams (14 lb 9.5 oz) today, down 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 45.0 grams (1.6 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 90-93 ml at each feeding. I also nursed twice. I received a total amount of 723 ml (24.5 oz) for the day. Aside from breastfeeding, I nipple fed 1% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I was given 90 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Keep the breastmilk coming -- all those wonderful nutrients are so good for me. Since yesterday morning, I pooped 3 times and the last time was around 3 PM.

As of 6 AM, I was on a nasal cannula with 100% oxygen.

Ta-ta for now Mommy and Daddy. Please tell me things about our family the next time you visit.

Love, love,
John Michael

PS: Thank you for the yummy cupcakes for the nurses last night!!!! :)
