Bath Night
It’s bath night for Mackenzie and Cheri is up to bat. A clean baby is a good thing. The two of them put on quite a show. Check out the gallery.
Temperature is very important for Mackenzie. Before she can come home, she must demonstrate the ablity to regulate her body temperature. The nurses have slowly been lowering the air temp in the Isolette. Once she can maintain the proper body temperature at 27 degrees Celsius (80.6 Fahrenheit). Tonight she’s just a few tiny steps from that target mark.
The other biggie is gaining weight. Mackenzie is eating well and certainly enjoys “Mommy Juice” more than formula. She topped her birth weight on Thursday evening and is now gaining about an ounce each day. She’s currently almost 3.5 lbs. Every ounce counts.
