10 days old
Well, today was a good day for Miss Addi. She weighed 2 lbs 11.2 oz. They are going to start giving her iron supplements to increase her blood. Apparently that is common with preemies. Tomorrow they will begin to start teaching her to feed from a bottle! How exciting! Although she won't be able to take a full feeding from it, they will try once a day so she learns to start sucking. This is exciting because when she got there (10 days ago) they said they wouldn't even try for 3-4 weeks. Eric and I spent most of the day with her. Now that she is not jaundice or hooked up to a c-papp I get to hold her as much as I want! So...I hold her for hours each day. I love it. The nurses are letting me change diapers, get her temperature, and teaching me the things I don't know how to do like her monitors. Today, nurse Susan made her a bow :) She looked so cute! I can't believe how far we have come in just 10 days.
