Day 45


Aerin did well today. Her oxygen was the same and her feeds are the same. She's still having some reflux and they're still treating it. Andrew kangarooed her and I cradle-held. It's so nice that we both can hold her in the same day - she's big enough that being taken out of the isolette doesn't stress her out.

Aerin's new clothes from the Preemie Store came and she looks adorable. They're still a bit big,but she'll grow into them. The NICU administrative assistant, Nola, gave Aerin very sweet some hats that her daughter grew out of, which was extraordinarily nice of her.

The big news for today is that Aerin had another big weight gain and now weighs 2 pounds, 15.7 ounces. That's just .3 ounces away from 3 pounds! Now this is a very big weight gain, so it won't be surprising if she loses some weight tomorrow. Andrew is hoping she'll get to 3 pounds by the end of the month and she just might.

In other news, a giant Mazel Tov to my friend Nicole who gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Samuel, on Friday, September 21st. Mother and baby are both happy and healthy.
