Seven weeks 1 day old

Came in to find Evan all snugged in on his tummy (still his favorite position). The doctors increased his feed to 33 mL (up by one) and decreased his respiratory support to 2 litres. Due to the decrease in support, Evan did have a few more spells today. He did bring himself out of them though. 

Big head to hold in all my brains!

Monday's are measurement days. Evan had another growth spurt - his head circumference is 29 1/2 cm (11.6 inches) and he measures 40 cm (15.7 inches) long. Last week, Evan measured in at 28.5 cm for his head and 39 cm for length. He does look long when he stretches out. When I got the word that Evan cold wear clothes, I went a little crazy buying him outfits. I'm not so sure he's even going to get a chance to wear them all! The outfit he's wearing today is actually a newborn size. (For those wondering, he weighed in yesterday at 1,740 grams (3 pounds 13 ounces).) There was a whisper of talk that he might be moved to an open crib by this weekend. Again, he has to hit the target weight of 1,800 grams and keep his temperature up on his own.

Bottling went pretty well today. Evan took down about 12 mL of his 33 mL. He did seem to tire out a little faster so I didn't want to push him to take more. Seeing as he was already working harder to breathe, I didn't want to cause him to brady (drop heart rate) just to help him with his coordination. 

We read a Curious George story tonight. Evan was awake and smiling throughout it. Hopefully he wasn't getting any ideas for making mischief!

Telling Daddy all about his day.

Momma, this is guy time. How about a little privacy?!

Tuckered out after story time - Andrew that is. :)

Suckas! When are you going to learn to change me after we snuggle?!
