Into Week Three
Here’s this week’s pic … I’m sure if you’ve been up to the Facebook album you’ve already seen it …
So what’s the status on Squirt? Well she’s up above her target weight … 1800 grams … so she’s out of the incubator / isolette whatever you want to call it … and she’s out in a basonette … the weight thing was basically just a target for her to be able to regulate her own temperature … she needed a little bit more fat on her frame …
She’s doing well with her feedings … we’re currently trying to introduce her to bottle feeding, which she’s doing OK with … she’s really doing well with the breast feeding, and Shari’s basically putting out enough milk to make Beatrice jealous ….
And then there’s the heart flutters … which is where she basically forgets to keep her heart going … she’s supposed to go seven days without having an episode, and right now she’s at day 3 I believe … maybe I should be switching that banner up top from the announcement to a counter listing off all of her current accomplishments!
Shari and I are doing well … we’re both a little tired … and yes, we realize that the hard part hasn’t even really begun yet … but we’re both just soo damned happy that I don’t think either of us really notices just how tired we are!
On a related note … Parvati wins the latest round of Survivor? Are you kidding me? Granted the Carder household didn’t think that Amanda had done anything special to earn it either … but we felt that it really should have gone the other way …
