So Kavi, to our surprise, made it to the "Step-Down Unit", which is not as intensive care as the NICU. The docs say he's doing well, and all he really needs to do is put on some weight. As of this post, he's 2 lbs, 14 oz, so he's almost 3 lbs!
Nisha has been doing "Kangaroo Care" with him, which means she holds him against her chest making skin-to-skin contact. This helps with the bonding & growth process, as well as the first steps towards breast-feeding. I can do skin-to-skin contact as well...well, I suppose mine is chest-hair-to-skin contact...and as much as Nisha wants me to, I don't think I'll be able to breast-feed him! But heck, I'll try anything once!

You're gonna laugh when i say this. He really looks like YOUR DAD! Seriously! Maybe he looks more like you and you look like your dad, but I see you and your dad's face in him! I rename this kid from Kavi to Kal-El!
