Growing into my clothes. This is actually one of my bigger preemie outfits!
Bundled up after my bath
According to my conversion chart Chase needs to gain 31 grams to get to 3lbs! Today he was at 1330 grams, and even though he was at this weight once before it was when he was having belly issues and the CPAP was pumping him full of air. He's eating like a champ so I know we'll be there soon:)
No change from rounds- there was some disagreement regarding the loudness of the murmer, but ultimately it still kinda sounds like a washing machine! He had a few bradys before I got there this morning but they were all between 96 and 100 and self-resolved. Once he gains a little weight these wouldn't even count and need to be recorded! Since he's still too little any time his heart rate drops below 100 they document it. This chart is usually the first thing Jas and I look at when we go for our daily visits.
You can see from lots of the pics that Chase spends a lot of time on his belly. Generally babies don't sleep on their bellies, but it has been helping with his digestion and his breathing. When he moves to the crib, and isn't hooked to all the monitors like in the isolette he'll sleep on his back. Several people have asked, so I figured I'd put it in a post!
Whatever and however Chase needs to sleep!!! I never did believe in that whole back to sleep thing anyway. You Go Chase!!! Sleep however you want!lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to see he is doing so well. I am sure he soon will live up to his name "Speed Chas'r"!!
