It's getting harder and harder to recall when I weighed in at only 2 lbs, 10.5 ozs! I'm so big now that I wear a proper size 1 diaper... no more preemie diapers for me. Know what I did this past week? I outgrew an outfit - my first one. Mummy says she is keeping it so she can show me when I get older...not so sure I'll care about that really... but it makes her happy. Know what else I did this week?? C'mon guess! OK, I'll tell you. Just the other day - Sunday the 20th - I drank a whole bottle! The entire 58 cc's (nearly 2 ounces), I drank the whole thing from my bottle. Everybody was really excited and calling each other, and a one of my nurses helped me pen a little note to Mummy & Daddy about my big acomplishment! Then I slept nearly the entire day.... what can you expect from me?
In other news, I no longer need any oxygen to help me breathe. I am doing that all on my own now and I occasionally still have some problems with remembering but overall I am doing really well. The only tube on my face now is my feeding tube and that will stay until I can eat all of my feedings by myself. :-)
I stay awake longer and longer now, sometimes for over an hour at a time. I like to play and have fun with my Moosey, my mobile and my nurses - and I have begun to realize that a little squaking and growling may net me a cuddle! NICE.... I love to cuddle. I still love my baths, and one of my favorite times of the day is when Mummy & Daddy visit me. I hear their voices and I start growling a little bit, then I like to do a good stretch and a yawn... I know it is only a matter of a little time before I get scooped up!
I hear that my room is nearly finished at home, and I'm excited to see it. I guess there are only a few things left to do and that's that. It sounds cool with safari pictures on the walls and a big fluffy rocking chair in the corner... mmmmm... rocking with Mummy or Daddy. YIPPEE!
