"Dear Sarai, Keep up the good work! Love, Jenny Craig" July 18

Posted Jul 18, 2009 9:13pm

I hope you’re all having a beautiful Saturday!

Yesterday was a rough day. (I told you Sarai had a rough morning, and everything turned out fine, but it was a stressful day for me.) Today was MUCH better. Sarai was breathing really nicely and was very calm all day. She didn’t even poop on me! She saved that for her nurse!

PLUS, Grandma (henceforth known as ‘Mim’) came to visit and got to hold Sarai for the first time. Sarai had a great time sucking away on her pacifier in Mim’s lap!

Sarai drank about 10cc’s from her bottle again today, and the nurse was surprised to see that she gained 60 grams in a day! (A good weight gain is 20-30 a day!) Mom said we’re going to have to start calling her “Pork chop.” I said, at this rate, we’ll have to call Richard Simmons and have him put out a “Sweatin’ With the Preemies” DVD! So now she weighs about 3 lbs 10 oz.

Grow, Little Peanut!
