What a busy month it has been for our sweet little Ayla Renae! Although she's only been home for 4 days, we were so lucky to get to spend as much time as possible with her during her time in the NICU, which has allowed us to get to know her! She has come a long way from her first day of life and we are already SO proud of her & in love with her feisty little personality! She makes the cutest little faces and sometimes opens one eye to get a peek at her surroundings - I like to say she's nosy like her momma!
Height: 19 1/4" - 1st percentile
Weight: 5# 12oz - <1st percentile
Clothes: preemie/newborn - newborn is still pretty big on her, but most preemie clothes are getting a little snug!
Diapers: preemie
Sleep: she wakes up every 3{ish} hours to eat, but other than that is a perfect little sleeper!
Diet: breast milk (in a bottle)
Toys: nothing really quite yet...
Milestones/firsts: one of the biggest "milestones" for her was to master suck-swallow-breathe so she could EAT! Tube feedings were started (slowly) on 11/28 & we attempted to introduce her to a bottle on 11/30 but she wasn't interested at all! They started her oral feedings very slowly as well & she took most of her first oral feeding (18mL out of 27mL) on 12/3. By 12/6 she finally mastered that skill & finished her first full bottle!! (38 mL) Once she did that her oral feedings continued to increase in frequency & quantity and her feeding tube was removed on 12/14!!!
Health: at her first dr appt on 12/26 her doctor said that we have a "healthy & perfect little girl!" Can't ask for anything better than that!!
Likes: eating, rocking, sleeping
Dislikes: diaper changes!!!
