Crossed the Three Pound Mark!

High-five Anna! Anna has slowly been inching her way to the three pound mark and she finally made it today! She is officially 3lbs and .04oz (1362 grams) and that's even after a big poo! She is still on 19ml of milk every 2 hours, and her milk is slowly fed to her over a time of 1.5 hours. So she literally eats non-stop throughout the day. But slowly down her feeds like that has helped her tremendously with the reflux. She did really great today so they will keep her on this schedule.

When we got there today we had a cute little surprise. The day nurse had clothed Anna in a cute little baby hospital style Kimono. We asked the night nurse why but she was a bit on the ummm..."unsure" side of things regarding pretty much everything. Anyways that's a whole other post. So in any case, it looks like Anna might be clothed from here on, probably to start helping her regulate her own body temperature instead of relying on the incubator. But that's just a guess. Nevertheless, it's SOOO CUTE!! I'll have to bring in some of the hats that her Great Grandma made for her now that we're able to see her wear clothes more regularly.

The other thing that Anna surprised us with, she is breathing 12 hours out of 24 on her own now!! Amazing little girl! They have her breathing 6 hours on low flow oxygen, and 6 hours on si-pap and they alternate this throughout the day. She'll be fully breathing on her own before you can say "Level 2 here we come!".
