Kate is 38 weeks gestational age and 13 weeks old. I took her into see Dr. Grandpa yesterday and she's doing great. She now weighs 6.2 lbs. and is 18" long. She is finally the size of a small newborn:) Both of my other two girls were born at 38 weeks and were close to 6 1/2 lbs. So I feel like Kate is right where she should be now.
Kate still needs oxygen, I've tried her off it a couple times and she does ok except for when she's eating. She still has a few random apneas about every other day- I'm grateful for the monitors. She likes to eat every 3 hrs. during the day and still goes longer shifts at night. She is still mostly a eater/sleeper baby. BUT she is starting to get spoiled!! Around 2pm she starts to fuss and wants to be held for the remainder of the evening. I can't hardly resist holding her either!! I feel like she deserves it after what she's been through and also knowing she's my last baby I want to enjoy every minute of her!
