February 14 Update: 33 Weeks

Matthew graduated to a smaller nasal cannula, which means he needs less oxygen, which is awesome. He’s only getting a very small amount.

It also means he could get an upgrade from an orogastric tube (feeding tube through the mouth) to a nasogastric tube (through the nose). Hooray!

He’s getting 22 ml of milk every 3 hours now.

Weight: 1250 grams (2 lbs 15 oz)

Length: 38 cm

For Valentine’s Day, we took the whole family up to the hospital to deliver our valentines to Matthew and his NICU nurses.
