Kangaroo time. Baby Roo is enjoying her nap. She looks very comfortable. Mama is kinda envious.
Mattigan is wearing her first onesie tee. It is gigantic on her so it really looks like more of a kimono style bathrobe. But whatever. As Will Smith would say, she makes it look good.
Matti is up MORE to 3# 8oz! She's actually just below 9oz! So do a little dance cause Mattigan is over 3 1/2 pounds!!!!
She was 14 1/2 inches long at birth. She is now 15 3/4 inches "tall".
Our feeding/rounds times have changed to be 8:30-11:30-2:30-5:30. Still at 29 cc's but now being fed over 45 minutes instead of an hour.
Her breathing has been good. She still d-sats which means 'desaturatizes'. Her oxygenation drops a little while she pauses in between breaths. Versus apnea where she would breath for a moment or two. No significant apneas or Brady's. So we have lowered her high flow oxygen to 1 liter and her rate is still 21-30%. So pretty much what we breathe.
For a couple weeks now she has also been picking up her head and looking around. If she wants to see Daddy or Mama when she is kangarooing then she will crane her head back to look at us. Or she'll lift her head off our chest, turn her neck, and put her head down facing the other way. Strong little bugger.
As said previously, Mattigan is getting more vocal. Still usually quiet noises but she'll grunt or whine if you disturb her.
She still has a murmur sometimes. It's hard to hear and most the time nurses and doctors can't. So no concerns there at this time.
Her fingernails are also getting sharper. Mama knows because Mattigan is sharpening them Wolverine style on my neck right now.
Mattigan is on her way to being homebound. She needs to keep growing, get off breathing line, feed from a bottle, and keep her temp. She'll have to pass a car seat test which checks to see if she'll have As and Bs on her way home. This position is harder so if she tolerates it that's good. Progress in all areas so we are optimistic. :)
