Sorry it's been so long, everyone! Things have been really busy! Christmas was wonderful! Ilana loved opening presents and had to play with everything before she would go to the next gift. Michael spoiled me and got me a sewing machine! Yay! Now hopefully I can start sewing some stuff! :) Friday I woke up in lots of pain and it dawned on me that I had mastitis (I had it three times after having Ilana - so I knew right away what it was!). After spending 4 hours in urgent care, I finally got some antibiotics and went home to rest. Then Saturday night, my parents got here!
Anyway, things are going well! Aydan is now up to 4 pounds 12.2 ounces! He is out of the isolette/incubator and now in a regular bassinet - meaning he's regulating his temperature on his own now! He still has a few bradys once in awhile - which are when his heart rate goes down - but usually he can bring it back up on his own without the nurse having to rub his feet or hands.
He's doing wonderfully and is now up to almost 2 ounces per feeding (still through his feeding tube). I usually try to make it up there at least for one feeding a day so I can try nursing him at the same time - just so he can get some practice. Yesterday he nursed aggresively for the first time! He did an AMAZING job and Michael and I were so proud of him!!! He did such a good job that the nurse only gave him half of his milk through the feeding tube! Hopefully this continues and he's able to go off the feeding tube soon! :) We'll just have to pray!
