Ruby Day Two-Three

Here are some photos taken of Ruby on her second and third day, spent in a lush private room at Manhattan's St Luke's Roosevelt hospital. We have a flat-screen TV (never turned on), an uncomfortable cot (slept in), very good free meals (open-faced steak sandwich superior to the not-bad duck; pictured).

Ruby cried and squirmed much of the second day, but got some welcome breaks from coddling skills of Aunt Thuy and Mr John Whitaker. Ruby then rebounded with a boing on the third day -- good feeding, ample diaper fillings, long naps on pop, and restful sits in visitors arms like Sesame hounds Giao, Anita, Stephanie and Renee.
