Just when I thought I was gonna be out of here in no time, I get hit with a setback :( See something new in my picture above??? Yep its a feeding tube :( A feeding tube that will be stuck in my nose again for at least the next 3 days, and then IF it gets taken out again I will have to be monitored again for another 3 days to check weight gain, so yes I am not getting out of here this week and if I am lucky MAYBE sometime late next week :( Ya sorry for getting your hopes up folks I just could not gain any weight with feeding on my own :( So now I am back to scheduled feedings for the next 24 hours or so, ever 3 hours at 65ML. Every other other feeding will be from my bottle, and the rest of course my feeding tube :( On a small side note I DID gain weight today for once! I gained 3 ounces actually, so that puts me up to 7 pounds 3 ounces!! But who knows what that means so I guess wait till tomorrow to see if I really gained that much weight :) Well in other news Mommy and daddy came and did my care. First daddy held me! See Below!
Mama took my temp which was 36.6C ( I don't think I ever have to worry about my temp anymore, I have been holding my body temp now steady for almost 2 weeks!) Then daddy started the dreaded feeding time!! I actually did get about 30ML in me really quickly so daddy burped me and the turned me over to my mama for the second half of my feeding! See Below!
Mama then finished out with my bottle, and I did finish it all!! Shocking I know!! Afterwards mama changed my diaper and my clothes then it was off to bed again. Time to grow so more for this little preemie princess!!
And I am out for the night!! I am sorry everyone if I got your hopes up :( I am trying so just stick with me a little bit longer :( I love you and thank you as always for sticking with me and my journey!!

Baby girl, you are well worth the wait! Mommy and Daddy are anxious, like the rest of us and we all worry about you and them. But I know that your in wonderful hands and you will be home soon! We all know that! Also, I want to say to Mommy and Daddy, if sometimes their family and friends (me) bug them with calls, texts and opinions we only do it cause we care but should respect your need to be alone with what's going on and know that if you need us you know our numbers. I will try ( we should all try) to not blow your phone up with question's. Love you all. Grammi
