Not only is she in a crib now she has taken a bottle too! She drank 12ml all by herself from a bottle last Friday! Sadly though, I wasn't there for this milestone because I was away buying my new Toyota Corolla (2004) but had a chance to bottle feed her last Saturday morning! She took 4ml from me:). Here she is bottle feeding and her certificate of achievement!
I’m not going to be afraid of posting this VIDEO… I got her breast feeding (with no milk as I pumped before… Eventually we will transfer to getting a bit milk out).
So, yes, my little munchkin is just over 4 pounds and doing great! Oh, I shoud add this important information out too! I just found out tonight that Olivia had her echocardiogram yesterday (Monday) and guess what? Her PDA is closed!! All by itself! Way to go Olivia!! If all goes well like it is now she will be home before Christmas forsure! Definitely not before he due date (December 10th) though as she still has a bit to go with her oxygen. She’s on room air now and her flow rate is at 4. She was down to 2 but they bumped her up to 4 again as she seems happy at that level. She’s still on room air though.
Here are a few photos of what has gone on in the past week and a bit!
Hope you’re all having a good holiday! I will be posting another post later today as I’ve missed a few things. It fits more into a separate post so stay tuned!!
Thanks for following!
