2 months old today!

Kate is 2 months old today! (34 weeks gestational age) She's gained a total of 2 lbs. She started off at 1.10 lbs. and is now 3.10 lbs. She has been such an amazing, strong baby! Hopefully, she only has a few more days left before she is weaned down to a nasal cannula and then we can start to teach her how to eat:)    
Her hemoglobin has dropped to an 8.6.  She will be tested in a few more days to see if it's starting to rise again or if she needs a blood transfusion.  Kate was turned up to a 4 on her oxygen flow on Monday because she was swinging so much, and having such a hard time stabilizing her respiratory rate.  On Tuesday she was turned back to a 3.  When I went up to hold her she had already had a great day with pretty stable vital signs.  I was worried about throwing her off again by holding her.   She surprised me and it was the most enjoyable time so far that I've held her!  She hardly set the alarms off at all and was very stable.  The doctor said he felt like she woke up a different baby. She went from one day of un-stability to the next day of fabulousness!  She has to be weaned from a 3 to a 2 and then to a 1(to a nasal cannula).  When she's stable on this we get to try her first bottle feed:)
