Nina is two weeks old today!Hilariously, she attempted to breast-feed with Daddy yesterday - but ended up with a mouthful of chest hair!
So today Mommy let her try with the real thing. Nina had a great reaction - eyes wide open, tongue wagging all over the place - but she's still too small to actually pull anything in. Still, it was a strong start.
Nina gained another 17 grams yesterday! That's about half an ounce, which is perfect - the docs expect her to gain anywhere from a half an ounce to an ounce a day.
She continues to have a handful of alarms (when her vitals dip or escalate beyond healthy levels) a day, but corrects most of these on her own. Sometimes she requires a little soft stimulation, but never more than that. At times we've noticed that these correspond to her poops - it takes a lot of work for little Nina to poop!
Little family!!! Yay growing and yay boobies! and happy 2 week birthday!!!! Ya'll look wonderful! What an experience! Thanks for all of the posts - I never can wait to get home at night and check on ya'll!
