So precious. Congrats again to you and Spal. Take good care of them, and yourself. Check in with us once in a while. You're going to be a busy man when your ladies get home!

Thank you,

I continue to be impressed by this little one.
Breathing is great, never a hiccup.
Body temperature regulation is fine.
Eating, she is learning and learning fast.

She actually latched on and got milk/colostrum from one breast that wasn't working prior.
This is impressive considering the major problem such a premature baby faces is the ability to feed and sustain itself, because they run out of energy so quickly and they're a but "immature" so learning is a thing.

She breastfed for a few sessions yesterday, one at 40 minutes.
20 minutes would be big for a kid this size/age.

I actually heard one nurse say to another when they were changing over, when referring to her breathing, then eating "She has surpassed every other baby on the ward, and she's 5 weeks younger."
I am proud here - and glad to know I've got someone on my hands with so much fight in her, she continues to impress me.

How could she not? She comes from strong parents. Granted, I don't really "know" you and Spal, but from everything you've written since you've been here - and Spal when she used to be a regular visitor - you both strike me as strong people.

Continued best wishes.

River came home today...just settling in.
Finally.
My dog seems interested, though he has to stay away for a bit.
She's done well. Feeding all on her own now.

Hey guys...
So River is four months now.
Funny, these pictures I posted here look so "old" now.
I remember that time that was both crappy and awesome at the same time, in and out of hospital, while getting to know our little one.

She's very vocal now, multiple syllables, smiling a lot, using her hands a bit more, and even laughing.
She has grown in a healthy way, eating well, and getting bigger and brighter every day. Sometimes I'll just say Hi to her when she wakes up, and she just beams at me.

Spal is fine, and is great with her - I love watching them together.

Hm...looking back over this thread brings back some memories...
I know, I could have been better about updates, just - pretty busy time guys.
Anyhow, here's a new pic.
