Writing from Fairlawn NJ, I relay Jen's update on Gabrielle. Yesterday was eventful. Bottle feedings increased from every other feeding to 2 of 3 feedings. The amount increased a couple cc's to 30 cc for each feeding. Also, Gabrielle graduated from her isolette to an open air crib after passing a 24hr body temperature test. Although very pleased with these advances, Jen and all of the parents involved were unhappy when the NICU closed our small room because of a nursing staff shortage. Gabrielle spent yesterday afternoon and last night in a different room with eight other babies where the quarters were a little too close for comfort. With the new busier environment, no isolette to filter the noise, and even a draft overhead, it's not surprising that Gabrielle didn't gain any weight yesterday. She's 3 lb 3.4 oz, unchanged from Monday morning. Thankfully, the NICU re-opened our small room this morning, so Gabrielle and Jen are back in their more comfortable, quieter corner. Additionally, the staff gave Jen some literature on car seats and what to buy (diapers, etc) before the baby comes home. It's getting closer!
