Today Loki lost some weight, down to 2030 grams. This is probably due to the use of a diuretic (Lasix) which causes him to lose fluid. The belief is that this will help clear any fluid form his lungs, and thus potentially speed up the withdrawal of breathing support.
Mom is putting lots of effort into the practicing of breast feeding, further crowding her already busy schedule. Based on what she tells me, it seems to me that each day he becomes a little more skilled at the complex task. Suck, swallow, breathe: If any of these three is skipped, there is a problem.

Hi,
It's so funny to see Loki in his oversized hoodie. Nice to see a picture of dad and het kleine mannetje.
Mom, good luck with your busy schedule, hope you still find some time to rest, in preparation of the moment Loki is coming home.
Loki, good boy! Your making progress on th breastfeeding part! That's what we all want to see!
I wish you all a good day today.
Love Maaike
How sweet! You can tell ever more that Loki got both of your genes! He looks cuter evry time!
Love,
Johan, Suzanna and Phileine
