Friday & Rain again.. 10/14/2011 @ 10:35a.m.

Grace is 73 days old today; 37w5days (gestational)

And the big news: (drumroll please!)..She weighs:  3lbs. 12 oz. YIPPEE

(She gained 2 ounces last night)

Good morning!  It's raining in Maine again today.. I think it may raining back home to? So, Gracie had 13! d-sats yesterday, and the only thing that changed was they took her off the caffeine, so they're going to restart that today.. and give her a few more weeks to grow out of her apnea spells. (d-sat = apnea spells).

She did have an immunization shot yesterday, but they don't think that's what caused all of yesterday's spells.  But they are going to wait a couple more days to give the other two shots that are due.  Give my baby girl a break.

Daddy's back!  Just arrived in time for rounds.. we got billing due tomorrow (deep sigh), hope most of it is done..so it's just enter & submit!  We'll probably due 2/$20. at Applebee's tonight if there is no supper at RmcD house.  Last night was taco bar and it was delicious! If you haven't tried the applebee's dinner 2/$20.. you need to try it.. great deal & their spinach & artichoke dip is delicious!  It really is a huge savings for a good dinner!

Here she is sleeping on her belly this morning.. she doesn't look comfortable; she sleeps with knees bent in & bum in air..but she's breathing good so that's a good thing!  She's looking more like a newborn baby.

We have Mari today (nurse)..who's wonderful to talk to & wonderful with Gracie!  As of today, she'll be on 100% similiac preemie care formula at 10.5cc/hour..still with the NJ tube..

Okay.. I think that's the morning update!
