Well you can check one more thing off your 'go home' list from the NICU. Today the docs checked your caffeine levels and they were low so that means that you no longer are relying on the caffeine to to not have the 'brady episodes.' So you are doing everything on your own without assistance and continue to not have any bradies (knock on wood)! This is a must before the docs will allow you to go home.
Today you weigh 4 pounds 10.2 ounces! We can't believe how fast you are growing. You continue to breastfeed for about 10 minutes before each feeding, however you're not quite big enough to feed fully from Mommy so we also have been supplementing with a bottle of 55ccs. When Mommy's not here, the nurses feed you a full bottle of 60ccs…that's 2 full ounces of breast milk during each feeding every four hours. No wonder you're growing so fast!!
While Daddy was feeding you tonight, I wanted to document with photos your 'cubby' in the NICU so one day you can see where you were during your first month of life.
