Sarah continues to do well and is now above 3 pounds. As of last night, she weighed 3 lbs, 1 oz. She is doing great tolerating her feedings and is almost up to 1 ounce of milk at each feeding, which are every 3 hours. She also had her IV removed, so all of her nutrition is coming from breastmilk now. She is still on the cpap machine, but gets to come off of it for up to 3 hours at a time so that we can hold her. Her breathing is much improved from last week so the cpap is definitely helping, but she really hates it! They will slowly increase the time that she is off of the cpap to help wean her from needing it. Sarah's bilirubin count has finally gone down enough that she should be done with the phototherapy for good...so no more sun tanning for her!
Below are a few pictures and a couple of video clips that we have taken over the last week or so. One is of daddy's first diaper change. He did a great job...too bad it was just a wet diaper :) Sorry if some of the pictures are a little fuzzy...we try to take them without the flash so it isn't too bright for her little eyes. We hope you find them as cute as we do...
