Delle's NICU Journey -- Week 8

Day 50:
7 Weeks!
Delle is 5lbs 1.5oz and 17.5" long.
She is up to 42ml every feeding.
And she had a great nursing session today, 21 minutes!








Day 51:
5lbs 2oz!
She's up to 44ml of milk every 3 hours.
And she took her biggest bottle yet, 31ml!



Day 52:
Delle is 5lbs 3oz.
She took her first full bottle! Yay!
She's starting to wake up for more feeds too.






Day 53:
5lbs 4oz and up to 45ml every three hours.
She took a 35ml bottle and nursed for 15 minutes today.
She's getting 20% of her daily feeds by mouth. She needs to be getting 100% to come home!





Day 54:
She is 5lbs 5oz today!
She's still working on her feedings. She'll nurse for 10-15 minutes and then 
falls asleep. But she is starting to take about 1 full bottle a day!





Day 55:
35 Weeks gestational!
5lbs 7oz and up to 47ml a feeding!
Her oxygen levels are getting better with her feedings. She still has to be 
turned up a little (usually to about 25%), but she isn't having as many episodes. 
And she is still on .5 liters at 21% for the rest of the time.

CHEEKS!




Day 56:
5lbs 7.5oz!
Her bum rash is acting up again, hopefully her bath will help with that.
She was so content in the bath today, she loved it!
She's still doing about 15 minute nursing sessions once or twice a day, but she's taking more full bottles.
She's up to 30% of her feeds by mouth!
