Bryce got to start wearing clothes and get bundled a few days ago. This preemie outfit won't fit for long! He weighed 4 lbs. 10 oz. last night (June 20th). At last measure he was 17 inches long. But, I think he grown since then. His cannula is clear since he is no longer on pressurized air. He is on the minimum amount of oxygen and will probably lose the cannula altogether any day now. Since he is big enough to be bundled, he gets to have his isolette opened part of the time. If he is able to stay warm on his own for a few more days, he will get to move to a little crib.
Charlie has a little reputation with his nurses... He is feisty. He is always moving around and pulling on some tube or wire. The other day I was holding Bryce and Charlie started screaming. His nurse came to check him and he had pulled his cannula clear down into his mouth. Last night he weighed 1630 grams or 3 lbs. 9 oz. When he gets up to 1800 grams, he can start to wear clothes and be bundled. He still has his CPAP machine that gives him pressurized air. But, he is down on his amount and pressure level from a few days ago and is still breathing well. If he keeps it up he will be changing over to the kind Bryce has soon.
