Gabe is doing wonderfully today!
He is off IV fluids and will get his IV out of his head tomorrow! (man that looks aweful, can't imagine how it feels!) He is also off the phototherapy lights, they will do a biliruben level in the morning to make sure that is good. He is up to 35cc's per feed, and tomorrow, We can start to Breastfeed!!
I will have to pump first, to make sure i don't choke him up, but it will give me nipple stimulation for milk and also get him to start nippling and get to practice suck, swallow, breath coordination!
I cannot tell you how happy and excited I am for this!! My little man has come a long way in the almost week he's been born!! We took him clothes today, yes, size preemie! You can see his picture with one of his first outfits! He is looking like such a big boy now! He is soo tenny, such a little face! He really looks like his Daddy! I am so proud of him, growing and gaining!
His weigh is down to 4 lbs, 12 ounces, so he is peeing and pooping good, getting rid of more fuid that's kept him puffy! Pretty soon little face, pretty soon we will have you home! For now, gotta grow and gain to catch up with the rest of the bunch! ;)
