3 lbs 1 oz
We did it, you may now blow your party straws and throw you hats into the air. Calen has made it to 3lbs. Wow it is amazing how far we have come, it does not even make sense in my head.I am glad we are moving along, we are getting closer to the beginning of something awesome. Holly and I attended the taking your premie home class tonight. I was a bit of a skeptic because we went to the labor classes and they were about as useless as me trying to read a book about giving birth in Chinese. This class though was provided by an Occupational Therapist and she did an excellent job covering many topics that are probably pretty common, so in the all and all we were pretty happy with it. Calen is still on the amount of feedings which 23 ml every 3 hours.
Here is Calen with his SiPAP on. Don't really like this thing all strapped back on him but it is ok I guess, whatever it takes to keep him healthy is fine. It is causing some breakdown on his nose which they are attempting to loosen the mask to help out with this, problem being that when they loosen the mask, he has a lot of desaturation issues. So as for now the mask is back on snugly.
Hanging with mom. Holly is continuing to be the majority of the time skin to skin person. He enjoys being on her, he really goes in to a deep sleep on her and becomes very comfortable. His temperature is much more maintained by mom and therefore saving him valuable energy that can be used for growing. He also can hear her heart beat and her breathing pattern and this helps him remember that he must do that as well.
Be back tomorrow, will be late, we have a pretty full schedule early in the day. Goodbye everybody.
