Brady is 2 weeks old today. The time for her to finally come home cannot come fast enough. She’s up to 3 pounds 10.75 ounces and 16.5″ long. Yesterday they opened the lid to her incubator and were gauging how she tolerated room air. She runs warm like her Daddy and is doing so well regulating her temperature that she’s in a regular, open-air crib today! At her 2:00 feeding they just decreaed the amount of time she’s eating to test how she does. So right now she’s finishing up 33ml of milk over an hour and a half. If she does well with the faster feeding, then they’ll write orders to keep her on this schedule.
As Casey posted earlier, he’s back to work this week so I’ll be coming alone for the first visit on weekdays. Now that she’s in an own crib it’s much easier to pick her up and lay her back down when I need to pump. My mom showed up right as I was preparing to pump for the second time so she wasn’t in her crib for long at all. I’ll probably stay for another hour before heading to Target, going home to make dinner, and then coming back with Casey this evening.
Hopefully tomorrow I can get Brady set up with a pediatrician and maybe we can get our infant CPR class completed.
