Baby Steps for the Baby

Nick has graduated to clothing today.  In Germany, when Wyatt finally graduated to clothes (several days after birth), they gave him a full outfit.  Here, like Albuquerque, getting clothes just means a shirt.  Sadly, only one arm, b/c of the IV in his hand.  Still, clothes are a nice little milestone.

Today I get to try and nurse him.  His respiratory rate has been too high for me to try earlier.

red line is what we're interested in.  Respiration rate should be 40-60; not the 92 his is.  The green line, heart rate: 116 shows he is asleep.
