Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
His name is Giovanni. He was 8 lbs, 14 oz.and 21 3/4 long at birth. Had a little bit of a hiccup because he accidentally swallowed some amniotic fluid when he was born last Monday, the 8th, and had a bout with RDS, but today he came off the oxygen and has been eating all by himself for a few days. He's expected to go home this coming Friday. Thank God he is fine and there has been no permanent damage to his lungs or brain. These are the first pictures of him without any tubes, and of course I did not have my camera with me, but just my iPhone.
Little Giovanni is a proven fighter and he will go far in life.

He is perfection. Congratulations to you and your family. My second was born in November, and he spent a few hours in the NICU after having low pulseOx levels after a difficult transition. That had to be a very stressful and scarry time indeed. So very happy he is now back on track.
The physiological changes that happen with babies during transition is just incredible. I did a lot of research on it, it's quite fascinating..
