Little one is 4 weeks old today!! She actually has quite the birthday week - Today she is 4 weeks old, tomorrow she is 33 gestational weeks, and Thursday is her 1 month birthday!
Here's my poop story for today - The little stinker is a great pooper, we are told and, of course, we are so proud. She has a tendency to ruin several diapers while Matt is changing her, but yesterday she pooed on 3 diapers before I could get a clean one on her. Then, right before her bath, while the nurse was doing her assesment (mind you, no diaper on), she pooped on the nurse and then during the bath, she peed all over herself. Oh, what a little goof.
Anyway, medically speaking she's doing very well. She's up to 2 lbs. 14.5 oz. or 1327 grams. Only 31 more grams and she will be 3 pounds!! She is down to .4 liter flow on her oxygen and her labs from yesterday, including another follow-up chest X-ray came back great. Doing good!
My first day back at work was pretty good (aside from the madness of pumping at work - I did not plan well), I work with such awesome people. I was a little sensitive all day, but I think it actually helped that I got to talk about her all day. My students had lots of questions and I had lots of pictures to show! My only minor meltdown came when we got to the hospital and it looked like the nurse had already fed Harper. I was so upset, but I kept the tears away. Thankfully, she just hadn't cleaned up from her last feed, so I did get to hold her! Boy, she sure is amazing and holding her is just my favorite part of the day.
You are such a great mommy!! And a great storyteller. lol. Harper will love you for some of these later in life. So glad she's doing so well. Make sure you get that one-month finger picture on Thursday. Love, Mom/Nana
ReplyDeleteI remember only two times that I came unglued with the nurses....because they are so awesome you are automaticall nice and indebted to them...both times were around the girls feeding and what I wanted to do versus what they had already did. Needless to say we set some new expectations. 99% of the nurses are awesome but there was always one that made me frustrated or feeling less competent that what I was.
