NICU Watch Day 7

Accomplishments of the day: Noah was moved to NICU East! (NICU West is the first stop for all NICU babies. Babies in the NICU East are there for care after their various conditions have been stabilized.) Also, his jaundice level has started to drop!
Noah sleeping under the Bili lights in his incubator bed.
Noah's Project Linus blanket - Project Linus is a non-profit organization that gives handmade blankets to seriously ill children (such as all the babies in the NICU). We really like Noah's because it looks like a "cowboy" blanket.

Daddy's favorite hairstyle for Noah - all spiked up.

More snuggle time with Daddy.

(After yesterday's vent, I thought I should post this too.)
