Day 218

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 6710 grams (14 lb 12.7 oz) today, down 10 grams (0.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. My weight hasn't changed much over the past 7 days. When I sleep, I dream of Oreo cookies...... :) See if you can convince my nurse to give me a few!

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 47 ml/hr. In addition, I was fed 7 times and took 10-95 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 735 ml (24.9 oz) for the day. I nipple fed 3% of my intake. My last feeding was at 10 PM and I was given 95 ml by tube. My next feeding should be around 1 AM-2 AM. Thanks for the breastmilk Mommy! I love it! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around 6 PM.

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

So long Mommy and Daddy. I really look forward to snuggling with you.

Until I see you. Love,
John Michael

PS: I love it when you call to talk to my nurse (but she's busy during change of shift, so don't call then).
