June 29, 2008 - Day 20
Big update with good news all around!
Overnight last night Brendan had one minor Brady his Nurse Renee said he brought himself right out of it. During the day today he also had a brady similar to last night which he again brought himself out of. Tonight Brendan's nurse was Eileen she really likes Brendan. Devin held Brendan tonight ...they are so cute together. Devin was showing Brendan pictures and filling him in on who is who.
Sunday, Tuesday and Friday are bath and weigh-in nights. Sunday night they also measure how long the baby is now. So tonight we were there for all of this and I am so very happy to report that Brendan is now weighing 1370 grams or 3.02 pounds! He is 15 1/2 inches long or 39 centimeters. And his head is measuring 27 centimeters round.
Devins mission with Brendan has been to make sure he mastered the pacifier. Tonight for the first time in his short life we saw Brendan do just that ...master the pacifier! This is a HUGE deal because once Brendan really really masters the pacifier and sucking they will remove his feeding tube and he will switch over to being bottle fed.
So another great night in the NICU for Brendan. Oh yeh and he is the quiet one in his bay. He covers his ears when the other babies cry.
