We're discovering that the night nurses are for the most part much cooler than the day shift. And Kaleb already has them all wrapped around his tiny little finger. Last night, they gave him some shades to keep him cool in his tanning booth.But hopefully, he won't need them anymore. Kaleb's bilirubin level has stabilized, and he doesn't have to stay beneath the light anymore.
That also means that we get to start bringing some clothes up here so that Kaleb can kick it in style. Now, we just need to find some clothes that actually fit... (Yes, that is a preemie outfit!)Other than that, Kaleb just keeps getting stronger. They've upped his milk intake to 14 mL's per meal and continue to decrease his reliance on the IV. He also seems to have completed his post-birth weight dip and has started gaining weight. He really only dropped a few ounces (he went from 4 lbs 1.6 oz at birth to 3 lbs 13 oz Friday-Saturday) and has now come back up to 3 lbs 15 oz.
