Day 36:
Delle is 3lbs 12oz and 16 and 1/4" long.
She made it into an open crib!
She is back down to one dose of caffeine a day.
She's still working on latching.
And she is getting 32ml of milk every 3 hours.

| Let me just note that we do no pick out any of her linens or outfits. They are all provided by the NICU. (We're not cat people.) |
Day 37:
3lbs 14oz!
She had her weekly eye exam today. She recovered quick again and her results
looked good. No ROP and at a level 2 still. Because the eye exam is so stressful on
her, we weren't able to practice breast feeding today.
Day 38:
She's up to 3lbs 15oz!
She was too sleepy today to get a good latch.
And she's still on 1 liter of oxygen, but has been hanging out
at 21%, which is room air and the lowest they go!
Day 39:
Delle joined the 4lb club! She is 4lbs 1 oz. She's huge! Yet, I don't
know how she was any smaller than she is now.
Her oxygen was turned down to .5 liters!
And she did great at nursing today! It was her best latch yet.
Day 40:
4lbs 3.5oz.
She's been doing really well on .5 liters, she's mostly at 21%.
She was too sleepy to nurse today.
And she got a pretty bad bum rash again that is being treated with ointment.
Day 41:
33 Weeks!
Delle is 4lbs 4oz and is getting 34 ml of milk now.
We're still just working on nursing. Her latch is
very shallow so she has a hard time staying on.
And she got to cuddle with Grandpa & Grandma today!
Day 42:
4lbs 5.5oz.
Her little bum rash was doing better, but has gotten worse today.
Everything else is going great though!
We're still at a stand still with nursing, but we're going to try a nipple shield
tomorrow, she should get a better latch with that.
