…where Olivia has been keeping a secret

Last weekend was a tough one. I’m sorry for my downer of a post last time. But I’ll make today’s more positive 🙂

We have a six pounder! When you go from 1lb 4oz to 6lbs, your baby looks ginormous. Now we just want her to grow more length wise.

Olivia was only on bubbles of 8 for less than 48hrs. The doctors were hoping the more pressure would mean she would need less oxygen support, but the pressure was too much for her. She was more irritable, it was not comfortable for her, and she was actually needing the same or more oxygen support so they switched her back to 7. She has been cruising along nicely. She is usually in the 40s to mid 30s for oxygen support. I don’t think they will try and wean her until she is in the low 30s consistently, so we’ll just have to give her the time she needs.

She will have her next eye exam on Saturday, so no updates there yet. But keep praying and sending good vibes that her little eye vessels grow normally.

Here is a photo of me and Livy on Christmas Eve gettin’ some snuggle time.

I guess I will let you all know the big secret Liv has been holding on to…

Olivia is going to be a big cousin! My sister and brother-in-law are expecting baby girl Illaria Miranda Osman in July! We are so excited! We get to raise our babies together. My mom went from not knowing if she would ever be a Nonna, to having two nipoti (grandchildren in Italian) within a year.

Lil’ Liv’s Numbers:

  • Age: 95 days
  • Gestation: 39 weeks + 1 day
  • Weight: 6lbs and 5.6oz

Until next time…
