More calories...


My calorie intake has been increased to 24 calories per feeding. Nurse Kim says that once babies are eating this many calories that that's when the weight gain really begins! She noticed that my weight was 1lb 11oz and she didn' t think that was right, so she weighed me last night. When she weighs me, she takes everythinf off, except the ventilator, so she gets a more accurate reading. She said I'm 1lb 8oz with the ventilator. From now on I'll go by Nurse Kim's weight readings! Unfortunately though, I'm not going to reach my goal of 2lbs by Thursday :(

So far I have been doing very well with my added calories. If the rest of the feedings go well tonight, then I'll get the ventilator out tomorrow! If I don't have any more set backs, I should definitely reach my 2lb goal by the end of next week...I would think anyway.

Hi Jamison

I saw how you gobbled down your food yesterday. Gulp, gulp, gulp. It was gone in no time. When I said something to you about it, you made a muscle to show how strong you were getting. That's my girl. Your goal, should you accept it Jamison is 2 lb 8 oz or better by the time Oma & I get back from vaca.

Love you always;
Poppy
