October 5 -October 12, 2003: Fourth week
Oct 7th: Got Milk.  Anu has banked breast milk now in all three NICU freezers and one refrigerator, in addition to our own.  We calculate Aditi has at least a 15 day supply at current consumption rates.

Anu burping AditiOct 10th: Anu burping Aditi.  I don't quite get the 'hitting the baby on the back thing, but she doesn't complain, and it seems to help her eat more, which is a good thing.













Neera at workOct. 11th: Neera hard at work painting some baby furniture.















baby room coming togetherI think we have all the basic stuff: clothes, books, posters, furniture, car seat.  Wait.  What about diapers?















first bath Chrissy helps us give Aditi her first bath.  The heat lamps are to prevent her from getting cold.  The lighting was not really that dramatic.  Where can I get a third arm?














Neera's announcementsNeera's been hard at work on some pretty fancy-looking birth announcements.
