Whenever I see your smiling face

In this pic I was calling Nina a bad girl b/c she would only take 2 and a half oz for me this morning. Looks like she has teeth with all that formula on her tongue. She's about 7 and a half oz now. Her hair is pretty much gone. We are out of preemie clothes and in to 0-3 months. GO US!

D/C this baby!

Weight 7.2
Pulse Ox: Discontinue
Oxygen: Discontinue
Car Seat: Nope, Ped still wants us to use the car bed until she gets a tad bigger.
Can't win them all...
It's cool! I am just glad to get the smelly O2 tanks out of here!

Home Schooling

Since we have the pulse ox, I decided to put Nina in the car seat and see if she can handle the big girl car for 2 hours. She passed my test. She sated 95-98 and HR was nice and steady. I am calling ped tomorrow with the news and hopefully he will let us use the car seat. See ya car bed!!!
We have not really been using the pulse ox for feeds like we should be. She was doing so well, and that thing is so damn annoying, we thought best just to do spot checks on her.
Tomorrow Cindy, our nurse, comes to weigh her etc..I am betting on the 7 pound goal!! Nina has downed 21 oz in the past 24 hours!! growth sprut? fluke? I'll take it.

Back on the monitors

6pounds 10.6 oz! Yeah! Nina has consisting put on 1 oz a day since coming home!
We wanted to get off the O2 for during feeds so Ped told us to get the pulse ox so we could make sure she was getting enough O2. Got the monitor today guess what? She freaking had destats!
Unbelievable. She hates her canula, when I put it on her she cries and arches her back and has a major fit.
So looks like we are going to try to make a blow by out of the canula to aid in her feeding.

Nina's 4 month appt

Nina went to ped yesterday for 4 month vaccinations. She is weighing in at 6.2 and she is 17 3/4 inches long! She is still in car bed and we only are using the monitor at night. We have a download at the end of the month so we are hopeful we will getting discharged from it shortly after.

update( I am a liar- I was sopposed to be done with this)

I can't resist. Nina is doing well. She is 5.12 (as of Thursday) and loving life! She loves loves her cradle swing!
We go to peds on Tuesday for 4 month shots. I bet she'll be 6 pounds at that weigh in.
She's drinking about 70-90 cc a meal, and I think the reflux monster has come to town b/c since we switched too all formula(the past 2 weeks) she arches her back and cries in the middle of her bottle.
We'll have to see what Dr says. We stopped giving her O2 with meals since Thursday and that's going great! She's awake and alert more and more and making great eye contact when we talk to her. The monitor is getting on our nerves so we are using it only at night.

Update!

Weighing in at 5 pounds 2.8 ounces!! You grow girl!!
