We saw pulmonary yesterday and Nicholas continued to desat when we took him off the oxygen. Thus, we are sticking with 1/8 of a liter 24 hours a day. Our next appointment with pulmonary is in August, so, we'll remain status quo until then. His weight is up to 11lbs 9 ounces and he is almost 22 inches long. They are happy with his weight gain and in discussions with the nutritionist at the peds specialty clinic, we've decided to switch to normal formula versus the preemie high calorie formula. He still gets about 1/2 breast milk and 1/2 formula and takes approximately 3ounces every 3 hours, including the night. Every once in awhile he'll skip one night time feed which we appreciate. If only we could get him to consistently miss it; in due time.
Denise R. had to be in Lake Geneva, WI for work last week, so, Denise M. and Nicholas came down for a night. After work, we spent some time walking around the shops in the resort town and found the onsie and sun glasses Nicholas has on. He's not too keen on the sun glasses just yet. We'll see how much actual use we get out of them.
We moved Nicholas into his own crib on Friday night. He has done well in there so far.
Some of Nicholas's Rasmussen cousins visited last weekend. Nicholas loved seeing his cousins and they all enjoyed their time with him.
Nicholas, that's so great that you are now in your own crib and in your own room. What a cutie in your shades and outfit. Glad to see that Chad's family was able to make it up to visit you. We knew Ella was eagerly awaiting that opportunity. Did any of your cousins offer to change your diaper when it was full?
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the shopping. Get used to it.
Please wait to roll over until we get to meet you. Almost 12 pounds, soon you'll be ready for the barbeque and a steak from the grill. And, some good Italian pasta.
Love, Judy/Dave
