Today would have been my 32 week doctor appointment......clearly, that's not happening :)
They have increased her feedings to 23 cc's, hopefully this means she will start gaining some more weight. She is currently 2 lbs 10.6 ozs. She had lost a bit after the infection, but is back to gaining, just very slowly, so that's why they are increasing the feedings.
Our reports will probably be a little lighter since they are only going to do labs about once a week. Since she is more stable now, they don't want to keep poking her if they don't have to.
On a different note, Matt starts his new job tomorrow, so whatever schedule we had been used to, will now be changing. Not to mention that I go back to work next week (only for 1 week though). We had become pretty comfortable with our schedule (it's weird to actually get used to going to the hospital...), so this will be a different world for us. It's been so comforting to go through this together for the past 3 weeks, and it seems like now there will be more time where only one of us will be up there at a time.... Just breathe, Beth....we can do this.
You CAN do this! Praying for all 3 of you...
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news that her labs are going down and she is gaining good weight. She is progressing nicely Beth. Make sure you get the nurses to show you how to do infant massages...it truly relaxed the girls and we did it even after we went home. Her skin looks strong enough to take it.
ReplyDeleteInfant massage? Sounds fantastic, can they teach Matt how to do a Mom massage? :)
