For those of you who don't get to see me in person, here are two pictures of me. The bottom picture was taken when I was only a few days old. The teddy bear next to me is a beanie baby. The picture on top was taken today to show you a comparison of my growth. The doctors are very happy with my appetite, and with my weight gain. I weigh approximately 2 lbs 12 ozs. today, but that weight could be off by an oz. because of all the different variables that come into play when I get weighed. So, based on my current weight of 2 lbs 12 ozs. I have gained 1 lb 3 ozs since I was born. I've been eating the maximum amount the doctors would let me up until yesterday. The doctors think that maybe if I have thicker meals I might not have so much fluid in my lungs. So now I get to eat 20-21 CCs per meal, but they are adding Fortifier so that each feeding I get is 27 calories. That may not seem like a lot to all of you big people, but that's about all my little body can handle for now...and I really like my food!!!!!
