Lydia's week 4

Weight: 3 lbs 7 oz (got up to 9 oz but then pooped it all out)

Breathing: down to 2.5 liters per minute on the high flow

Milestones: She wore clothes for the first time and took a bath! Lydia also hit the 3 pound mark which is huge! She is a lot more alert and responds to my voice. She is also doing non-nutritive breastfeeding. She has latched a few times which is amazing for a baby as little as she is.


Thoughts: A baby was born at 23 weeks and 6 days. It lasted one day. Thomas had made friends with the dad of the baby while scrubbing in. When we saw him the next day it was heartbreaking. This baby's room was next to our baby so we heard them taking all the pictures and taking off the ventilator. It was really sad. There have been two babies that have passed away since we have been there. It makes me really grateful that Lydia is doing so well.
