Day 22, 11.11.08



HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVELYN!!! She is 3 weeks old now (30 weeks gestation).

Yesterday she weighed 1,265 grams (2 lbs 13 oz) and today she weighed 1,315 grams (2 lbs 14 oz). If she was still in utero, she would weigh approximately 3 lbs, so she is doing really well.

Evelyn is now getting 25 cc's/feeding which means she's eating nearly 7 oz/day. She's been on donated breast milk up to this point, but now that she's getting older they are transitioning her to formula. So each feeding is now half milk, half formula.


Evelyn has also started taking a nuk (pacifier). She doesn't have the suck-swallow-breathe coordination yet, which develops around 34 weeks. This is usually the age when these little ones can start taking a bottle.
