Log from 5th floor of MtAuburn hospital

Day 2
Started my real feeding Yay
Learned to swallow & feed, with Nurse Chris' help, thanks Chris
Thanks to better feeding, Going home in the evening today
Ready to go home
Day 1
Trying to feed breast milk, learning to swallow, Lactation lady intervenes
Probably made the connection between: feed and how to feel better (satisfy hunger)
Grandma & Grandpa visits hospital at 2:20pm after lactation lady is finished

Aha, fresh air

Day 0
Kripa lands on mom's chest, stays there 2-3min , then lands on the scale with 9lb 12oz
Dad holds her with trembling, thankful for this precious gift
Nurse jokes about going to hair salon with Kripa
Kripa spends more than 10min with dad & mom,
then wisked away for apgar test, vitamin K shot, blood drawn from feet for glucose check: 70 mg/dl: Overall perfect score
Gets first bath
Learned to stick out her tongue within half an hour: Look, I have a tongue !!
By 1am brought out to mom for feeding
Rest of the night at nursery
