Annie had a little bit of an off day today. Her heart rate and breathing rate were accelerated more than normal. The nurse ordered lab work and an X-ray to ensure that there was no sickness or other reason for it. Everything came back normal. She bounced back nicely as the day went on and her rates are back to where they should be. She may have just wanted some extra attention.
Squished face...
NICU Day 12-
Miss Annie has gained some weight! She is now 2lbs 4oz!!! Only one ounce from birth weight. The goal is to have her back to birth weight by 14 days. She is almost there. Grow baby grow! The doctors are discontinuing her lipids (liquid fat). Her feedings are up to 13 ml every 3 hours (around 3 1/2 ounces a day) so she is getting all of the fat she needs from the breast milk. The doctors said they were very pleased with her feeds and weight gain so far. Woohoo!
Her monitors- The top (green) number is heart rate. The middle (white) number is respiratory rate. The bottom (blue) number is her oxygen stat. Easy enough, right?
Annie's home away from home. We call it her "cozy condo". This is also where I spend up to 6 hours each day... So it's kind of my home away from home too.
She loves being on her belly.
Getting bigger each day!
