Today was a busy day. First, we had a visit from Binky, Joe, Erin, and David (though the little guy couldn't come into the NICU), who are vacationing in Colorado right now. Then we talked to the nurse practitioner about vaccinations and started researching that issue -- we need to decide how to handle Caley's vaccination schedule. Then Caley had a bath, during which she both pulled out her feeding tube and had an explosive poop, and now she is zonked out.
As of this afternoon, Caley weighed 1460 grams -- that's 3 pounds, 3.5 ounces! She's also up to 38.5 centimeters, which is about 15 1/8 inches. She had a big growth spurt over the last few days, and we're really happy about that. As a result, she has finally grown out of some of her micro-preemie outfits. Several still fit, but there are at least three outfits that we can now declare too small. Mommy is very excited to bring in the next size of clothes, which have been all washed and ready to go for a couple of weeks, and play dress-up.
Because it was such a big day, we took lots of pictures, and thought we'd share a few.
Napping after her feeding
Complaining about her bath
All clean, and about as wire-free as she gets
(her EKG leads and pulse oximeter were back on shortly after we took this picture)
She has come so far in these two months. We can't wait until Caley can come home!
Grow Caley, Grow!! She looks so pretty! Love you all!
