Today was Zoey's first Easter! When we got there the nurse had put a pink bow on her head for Easter...it was really cute! And somehow Zoey showed a 10 gram increase in weight last night. No one can believe this since she was dumping so much during the day. Her night nurse even weighed her 3 times to make sure. While there is room for error, at the worst, she broke even in weight yesterday. After talking with her nurse last night and figuring out the only thing that changed a few days ago was her supplements becoming oral after being taken out of her TPN IV, we discussed this with the Neonatologist and new resident in rounds today and they were going to have the pharmacy figure out a way to put them back in. We hope that this will help her weight gain get back to what it was at the beginning of the week.
My parents also came down today which was nice. They watched Zoey get a bath today and got to see how much she LOVES the water and bath time. She was awake about an hour before the bath so was completely wore out by the time her bath was done. She no more got dressed and was out cold for a big, long nap. She got to wear her first outfit today too that wasn't owned by the hospital. It's a preemie size and fit her perfectly. The nurse doesn't think she'll be in preemie sizes for too much longer. If you didn't notice, Zoey was she's also sticking her tongue out for the picture because she wants everyone to know how much personality she has already!
Love all the new pics!! Your Easter family pic is beautiful, you all look great :o) Yay to Zoey for continuing to make progress, however slow or fast she makes it :o) C'mon lil peanut, you can do this! Soon you'll be all healthy and wearing pretty bows in your hair and taking sticky-outy tongue pictures all the time LOL
