quick update

Just some fun facts:
  • Avery now weighs 1 lb 10.5 ounces
  • She is 13 inches long and grew an inch and 1/4 in a week!
  • Her head is growing at a steady pace
  • She is now completely off IV feeds and is getting all of her nutrition and calories from a combination of my milk and human milk fortifier. She is up to 24 calories per feeds.
  • She went through 3 diapers and peed on her daddy all in one care
  • She is back to getting time on the cannula. Right now she only gets two 2 hour shifts, but she LOVES it and does fantastic.
  • Her apnea spells are decreasing. She is still having issues saturating w/ oxygen and is higher on her 02, but then again she grew 1.25 inches in a week, that must take a lot of energy!
  • We get to hold her again! Only once a day for now, but that is better than not holding her at all.
  • I am still completely terrified to flip her from her back to her belly and for the 2nd day in a row made the nurse do it. Hopefully some day soon I will realize I will NOT, indeed, break her in half.
  • We read her first book today and she loved it. Thank you Barkley family for starting off her personal library.
  • Her daddy took 49 pictures during a 30 minute care session. I think he likes her just a little.
  • And finally, she is still super adorable, amazing and overall awesome!
  • Thanks Nurse Gayle for my cute hair ribbon
    Story time and snuggles with daddy. Life. Is. Good.
    Just showing you all how big I am.
