NICU, day 22

WE HAVE A 3 POUNDER!!!!!!
Today Avery weighed in at 3lbs 1oz! Woot, she is becoming a big girl.
This afternoon i went to the NICU with my mom so that she could see Avery again, she held her hand and talked to her. It really was a sweet day, i know my mom wishes she could see her more often. The nurse told us that they upped Avery's feedings again, and she is now at 28ml every feeding. Its no wonder she is 3lbs already.
Tonight when Phillip and I went to the NICU he held her for a little while and then I held her. We both sat there and talked to her about everything from her family, her sister and how much we love her. Tonight i told her that she has to keep fighting because her sister can't wait to meet her and loves her already. When we went to leave Phillip changed Avery's nasty poopy diaper, it was really cute to watch.
Avery has very few de-sats, mostly when she is eating the last 5ml of her feedings and for about 15mins after she eats they have to turn her oxygen up. The nurse told us that it is because when she gets really full there isn't a lot of room for her lungs to expand for her to take a deep breath. She said it is VERY common, and then when they start to digest the food a little, they start breathing better.  So overall she is doing really really well!
