Walking through Nehaan’s first three months on earth
Our angel just arrived in the world. I went to the table to say hello. He was born on October 16th, 2021 at 8.28 pm at Lankenau Medical Center at Wynnewood. He was 3 lb 11 Oz at birth.

They brought him to NICU…
They wrapped him up to send to NICU. He didn’t need oxygen support, but due to his prematurity in birth, he was placed in NICU. The goal was that we would need to get enough weight (~4lbs), able to feed through bottle (no tube)
Meanwhile a nurse is teaching mom how to setup bottle for breast pump
