My first week has been pretty eventful! I lost a little weight, which they tell my mommy and daddy is normal for every baby, but I didn't have much to lose in the first place! My weight went down to 1 pound, 15 ounces but it didn't take me long to gain it back. I've started to get mommy's milk through a tube that goes down into my tummy. They feed me 3 cc's every 8 hours! I had to have a blood transfusion because they have been taking so much of my blood to do lab work that I couldn't keep up with the demand. I was breathing on my own when I was born but that was making me very tired so they put me on a ventilator to help me breathe without using quite so much energy. Hopefully they can take me off of it soon. They also had to put me under something called a bili light for a little while because I had a touch of jaundice and I had to wear a special headband to protect my eyes , but I'm all better now. My Nana got to touch me for the first time when I was under the light and Mommy took a picture of my foot next to Daddy's hand.
