Yesterday was nothing...

I thought yesterday was a big day, that was until today came along. Today, they took the C-Pap off of me for 6 hours! I was so happy to finally have that thing off! I guess they finally got the hint after seeing me trying to pull it off so many times... But it was so nice to have that mask off. They just had a nasal canula in me to help me out. I'm going to have the C-Pap off tomorrow too. If I do well with the nasal canula tomorrow, than they may let me have it off 2x a day!

My feeding has been going well too, I already weigh 550 grams! Today was my second day of feeding, but they already bumped me up to day 4! That means I'm eating every 2 hours instead of every 3. So far I'm digesting everything...oh, and I made a stinky today too! I had some help, they gave me a suppository, but since my poop I've had some smears...so things are working their way out!

Mommy and Daddy wanted me to tell you that the pictures may not be clear for today's post. I tend to get stressed out easily and when I do, I tend to have Bradys. If you remember this is when I forget to breathe and my heart rate drops. Loud sounds tend to stress me out and also flashes of light! With all of the new stuff happening with me today they didn't want to stress me out any...

Get this, I over heard the nurse today tell Mommy that if she's my nurse tomorrow night, she's going to let Mommy hold me! I can't wait until I can feel Mommy again. I miss being in her belly and hearing her everyday :(

Wow Jamison you are doing so well. Way to go girl!
You look great in any light and very photogenic.
I am sure Mommy miss having you close, and she will enjoy holding you.
Tell Mommy and Daddy that we are still praying for both of you.
Take care,
Stacia Wegert

Morning Jamison, you had a great day yesterday. Looks like you're starting to gain some weight which is really good. I'm so glad they got that machine off your face for a bit and hope that happens more and more every day, cause that means you are breathing very well on your own. Hope Mommy gets to hold you today, cause I know she's missing you too!
Love, Aunt Deb

Hi Jamison!

Good job with the weight gain! All that yummy food will give you energy to play when you get out of that hospital. You know what else? You'll want to keep eating and getting better and better so your mommy can hold you. I can tell you from experience with my mommy that there's nothing like being held by mommy or daddy...cuddling with mommy is especially great because it's like the good ol' days in her tummy! I promise you, you'll love it!

Love,
Cole

so happy to see the little girl under that SCUBA gear...I knew she was there...and of course gorgeous!

I'm sending your mom calming vibes so she will not be too nervous when she holds you...we all know that you are tougher than your size makes you look.
