Sarai is already two weeks old! Kids these days, they just grow up so fast!
It was a rather uneventful day in the NICU. Mom and I got out there bright and early. When the doctors came for rounds, Dr. LaGamma called Sarai “a champion!” And he’s the CHIEF! So he knows what he’s talking about. I say, she’s a NICU champion tri-athlete: GOLD in Temperature Regulation, GOLD in Messy Diaper, Silver in Maintaining Oxygen Level. Gotta get her off those cannulas, but she’s not ready yet.
Sarai’s weight is up to 1745 grams (about 3 lbs, 14 oz!). The night nurse said she thinks the doctors wanted her over 1700 to try her in a bassinette, so she might be out of her isolette tomorrow! That would be great!
In the hospital every Monday there is a group of mom’s (and dad’s) that meets to make scrapbook pages for their babies. I got a chance to go today for a little while. They have AMAZING supplies. It was fun to chit chat with some of the other mom’s, see their stories on paper. I wish they did that more than once a week.
I made it all the way home today with just one trip over the Tappan Zee Bridge. It was a good ride, but a lot less silly!
