3 1/2 Pounds

Mikaila had a very good day today. She gained 55 grams today or roughly 2 ounces. She currently stands at 1600 grams or 3 lbs 8 1/2 ounces. She is still taking a bottle every other feed although that may be increased in the next few days. She has shown a tendency to overheat of late. It appears, at least from our perspective that Mikaila really should be taken out of heat. We understand that her calories should be diverted away from maintaining her temperature and toward growth. However, she also burns additional calories keeping herself cool when she is overheated. We will bring this issue up with her team tomorrow. Other than that she is doing very well.
