Mikaila gained another 40 grams today bringing her to a robust 1640 grams or a hair under 3 lbs 10 ounces. She has gained 3 1/2 ounces in the last two days! She will likely cross the 4 lb threshold in less than a week.
When we went to visit Mikaila today she looked very uncomfortable. For the entirty of our time with her, roughly 2 1/2 hours, she just didn't seem like herself. Her heart rate was elevated quite a bit, she was very fussy and squirmy and she de-satted a bit. After asking the PA to come look at her we discovered that her issues was related to her GI system. Apparently, for the bulk of our time with her, she was trying to poop. Her nurse noticed late in our stay that Mikaila had a wet diaper. She wasn't due for a check up and diaper change for another 90 minutes. However, when she took a look at her diaper she saw that Mikaila had solved her GI issue. She was now uncomfortable because the mess in her diaper had penetrated her forward perimeter and was migrating up her belly. Ick! When the nurse cleaned her up, she settled right down.
That's it for tonight.

This kind of info is going to get you in BIG trouble in 10-12 years. I recommend you be very careful as I am going to give her a copy of all this as soon as she can read!
Yes and at the rate Mikaila is growing, I'm thinking she'll be reading before the Democratic nominee is formally announced.
It was wonderful seeing her and everyone this weekend!!! Love to All.
Wait till you guys are holding her and then she poops. When poop comes out of her diaper and covers your hands and clothes!!! hahahahha..Welcome to parenthood!!!
Hugs to all.
The best part of being the grandpa is being able to perfect the "hand-off". I never got to use it as a father but I've seen it done and am practicing it for next week!
