Day 46, 1100 grams.
Bit of a wacky day today. They've gone up to 55 breaths per minute but came down on my pressures. To use a gym analogy, it's like doing more reps only with less weight. Builds endurance I guess. I'm still feeling a little wonky with the pain from operation, but each day gets a little better.
Today Mommy got to hold me for two and a half hours! We were so comfortable that at one point we both fell asleep. I wasn't worried about her dropping me because she had me in a nifty thing called a Cuddly Wrap. I was also lucky to have Nurse Melissa looking after me today, because she is a strong believer in Kangaroo Care. If any of you out there are having babies, I highly recommend it! I find it very relaxing and it's a great way for me to get out and see the world for bit. Someday, when I don't have so many wires and tubes attached to me, mommy will be able to carry me around the unit. Maybe I can get her to sneak out to Toys 'R' Us when the nurses aren't looking.
Until next time, my family, friends and fans!
