A Taste of Freedom

Hannah's oxygen requirements have been dropping over the past few weeks, to the point that she doesn't really need the nasal cannula every minute of the day. She still wears it as a booster during these early weeks of rapid growth, but I can now clean or change out the cannula or replace the adhesive without worrying about her de-satting during the process.

Today, she was satting so high while I had the cannula off that I went ahead and removed the oxygen monitor, too, and took a stroll into the kitchen so Carla and Grandma could see what an untethered baby looks like. Hannah was immediately fascinated by the bright fluorescent kitchen lights, as you can see below.
