She's 1251g, she's 1251g, she's 1251g!!!
(ETA: 1251g converts to 2.76lbs, 44.13oz, 2lbs 12oz :) -- she closed her IUGR dates by another .5 days so she's only 2 days behind in her IUGR dates for a total of 3w 5d's overall from her gestational -- woohoo)
We are so excited. So excited that we had everything ready for the bath and the bed change etc and Roger even contemplated going over and grabbing the scale but we waited...impatiently...for the nurse to grab the scale and then I held my breath and voila, 1251g!!!
She's up to 16ml's of formula every 2 hours and holding it well. She didn't have any braddies while we were there and one little dip that she came out of and was just fabulous.
Will update again tomorrow after I call the hospital around 1pm as she is on the roster for a phone call in to OTMH and her nurse Amy said by noon they usually know what's going on. She's scheduled to have some blood work done tomorrow and they'll take a little more to check for any infections that she might be trying to fight off and if it's all clear and OTMH has a bed and says everything is fine then she might be moved tomorrow. Otherwise they might keep her until Tuesday just to make sure she's most definitely above 1250g.
Have I said already how excited we are?!?!?
Will update again tomorrow afternoon...
