Daddy's back!

Daddy's back! Soon after landing in Burlington, Nina was back on Daddy's chest, resting peacefully.


Nina likes to hang out on his tummy though (a softer landing?), so it didn't take long for her to wriggle down there.
She gained another ounce yesterday, and continues to work on her suction power. She's still at an early stage - just getting a handful of sucks in at a time.

Here she is as we found her this morning - in a cute little onesie. It was strange to see her in clothing. We asked the nurse: why the onesie? Was it to keep her warm? Was it a sign of progress or regression in her thermal regulation? No, she told us. It was just to "pretty her up."

  1. Oh my goodness, you guys! She's so beautiful! She's making such amazing progress. Glad to hear that the step-down unit is working out so well.
    We're thinking of you guys,
