Today was a good day for Morgan Kate!

Her oxygen flow was reduced from 5 liters to 2 liters. Her levels ranged from 28% - 31% for most of the day. If she can continue this then they will reduce her to 1 liter and then eventually off of the high flow cannula and on to regular oxygen. 

She is continuing to tolerate her feeds and it quite regular. :) She was really sleepy with both bottle feeds today. This morning she took all of her bottle, but tonight she wasn't able to finish. Guess all of the extra work is wearing her out! In the next few days they will increase her bottle feeds. Remember, we have to get to eight bottle feeds a day and right now we are at three.

Tonight we were able to weigh and bathe Morgan Kate. Travis and I teamed up together to get it done. Morgan Kate did an awesome job and just made noises the entire time. She was too cute! She weighed in at FIVE POUNDS! I know...I can hardly believe we have reached five pounds.
