WEDNESDAY, MAY 4th:
On Wednesday Lola had her eyes dilated and checked. They are still immature but right on track for a preemies eyes. They are still developing. She didn't gain much breastfeeding but she did latch, which is important. Derek also gave Lola her first bottle tonight and she took 23 ml, which is half her feeding. She is now on a 1/2 liter of oxygen too.
On Thursday, Lola had one successful breastfeeding. She gained 8 grams in a feeding. Her skin is now getting some chunk. Her cheeks are filling out even more. The nurses say she has Angelina Jolie lips because they are so big!
FRIDAY, MAY 6th:
No obvious changes, Lola had a pretty sleepy day. I went with my mom instincts and just let her sleep the whole day. In hopes that tomorrow she would breastfeed better.

SATURDAY, MAY 7th:
They switched Lola to 1 liter of oxygen. She was so sleepy, that we decided to let her not work so hard and sleep. I didn't get in with Lola for her 11am cares, instead, I let her sleep. That evening, she had 19 ml from me, took the majority of the rest from her bottle, and then was gavaged the rest.

SUNDAY, MAY 8th:
Lola took another 12 mils from me at 2pm. She weighs 5 lbs and 14 oz. She is really starting to fill out. She seemed really tired today, so I decided to just have her do one feeding and then sleep.

Dexter also got meet Lola through the window for the first time tonight. He was throwing a tantrum right before he saw her. Right when I brought Lola to the window, he calmed down, started pointing at her and just staring. He LOVES his baby sister. I'm a little upset that the rule is for siblings to be above the age of 2 and have a complete vaccination record. Dexter is up to date of vaccines but he isn't 2 just quite yet. You would think that on Mothers Day, there would be an exception.
MONDAY, MAY 9th:
She had one good feeding from me. She gained 24 milliliters. She is 5 pounds 15.5 ounces. She also took 2 back to back bottles. The first bottle, she took 30 milliliters and the second she took 5 mils and then fell asleep.
TUESDAY, MAY 10th:
This morning's feed didn't go to well. She was tired! The evening feed went great though. She gained 23 milliliters from me and was gavaged the rest. They decreased her feeding time through her tube to 30 minutes which will make her hungrier when I come to breastfeed her. She weighs 6 pounds 2 ounces now! They will probably wean her off of caffeine and start decreasing her oxygen more in the next few days.
