Quick Status Report - Day 25

Weight: 4 lbs, 11 oz
Feeding: 44 cc every 3 hours, 3 breastfeeding sessions and 1 bottle feed; additional nipple feeds added as tolerated
Meds: None! Stopped caffeine on Monday.
Bed: Open bassinet

Did I mention that Samson moved to the Continuing Care Nursery (aka Level II) section of the NICU on Saturday night? This place is SO much more comfortable than the Level III section, as the babies are more stable and the noise & activity level is much lower. There are about 10 babies there and 3-5 babies per nurse. Our stress level (and surely Sammy's) has fallen a few notches with this move. Now it's all about sleeping, eating, & growing. No more needle sticks, no more terrible treatments. It won't be long now....
