NICU, day 18

According to the nurse Avery is doing good and "right on track for a small preemie". She is looking better and better every single day. She had a few de-sats today, but it was less than she has had in the past few days (which is totally normal for a preemie). She is now 2lbs 14oz!!!! Just 2oz shy of meeting 3lbs, i can't believe it! She has been in the clear of jaundice for 2weeks now so they will not be drawing her billirubin levels again (unless there is a drastic change) because she doesn't need it. I am so amazed and impressed with how well she is doing. There is no new changes with her. She will be having a new blood draw on monday, to check her potassium (among other things). She is starting to get meat on her and get some rolls!
