Our apologies for not writing sooner, but the past few days have been quite hectic with consults for my sleep study, putting together Easter baskets, taking Michelle to the doctor, and various other things. On to Christian!
Christian looks to be getting bigger and bigger! The nurse told us today that he weighs 1 pound 9 ounces, which means he has gained about 6 ounces since he was born. He looks healthy and happy in his little incubator. We spoke to the doctor for a while today about potential steroid treatments that Christian is going to need in relation to his lung development. Apparently, the steroids tend to make some babies lose weight if they are given too early, so the doctor wants to wait until Christian is taking more milk and consistently increasing in weight.
Speaking of which, Christian was up to 3.0 mL yesterday and 3.3 mL today in regards to his feedings. He is taking Michelle's milk extremely well.
