Southdale!!!

We have arrived at the promised land! After weeks of speculation, discussion, and predictions, Anders is safely ensconced at Fairview Southdale.
He is up to 4lbs 2oz. He gained an ounce of the past day, which is a standard amount of weight gain. Two ounces per day was a bit much for the medical staff.
I think Anders knew something was up. When we arrived at the NICU this morning, he was worriedly sucking on his pacifier with his eyes wide open. We forgot the camera in the car, but we do have some pictures pre and post transfer.
Anders thrived when he moved from Nursery 3 to Nursery 6 owing to the better energy there. I am sounding like my next door neighbor, Roger the tie dyed t-shirt salesman. Yet, I think Anders is picking up on the idea that his new neighbors are pretty healthy and he needs to breath rather than beeping off to fit in with them.
He handled the move well. Things are good. We are happy to be less than four miles away. To the pictures!
