{Week 4}

I thought it was weird when the little guy was 3 weeks old, and all of a sudden he's 4 weeks! On Thursday he'll be a month old! Mind. Blown. 

This little guy is only going to be little for a little while longer! He weighs 3 lb 14 oz! Hefty hefty hefty!

His oxygen requirements have decreased majorly. He was sitting between 35% and 50%, and now he's between 22% and 28%!

They increased his feeds from 18 mL every 2 hours to 27 mL every 3 hours.

His caffeine (to help him remember to breathe) has been increased as well, from 5 mL once a day to (I think) 7 mL.

And the best news of all -- they're trying him off of CPap again!! Hopefully this time he'll tolerate it better and be able to stay on High flow and eventually get off of oxygen all together! But once he's on High flow they'll try him on oral feeds!! Which has mama SUPER excited!!

He's pretty excited too! <3
