Meet Baby Jones

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2990 grams (6 lb 9.5 oz) today, up 45 grams (1.6 oz) from yesterday’s weight. I gained an average of 32.9 grams (1.1 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I’m gaining so well that the nurses want me to teach some of the other babies how to gain weight.

I was fed 6 times yesterday and I took 45-75 ml at each feeding. I received a total amount of 362 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 12.2 oz. I nipple fed 100% of my intake. My last feeding was at 5 AM and I took 55 ml by nipple. My next feeding should be around 9 AM. Keep the breastmilk coming — all those wonderful nutrients are so good for me. I pooped 4 times yesterday, and the last time was around 1 AM.

Adios Mommy and Daddy. Come visit me soon. I love when you hold my hand and talk to me.

I’ll love you always,
Avery

PS: Just because I’m sending you this e-mail doesn’t mean I don’t want you to call.
