Find out what she's up to with the photos, info, and slideshows below. More Kangaroo Care And Its Importance ![]() Kangaroo care has still been extremely important for Kymani, as it helps regulate her body temperature, among many other physical and emotional benefits. During kangaroo care, it's important that her skin touches mine and that she is tucked inside any clothing, much like a kangaroo pouch. This puts her near my chest so that she can hear my heartbeat, but also stimulates important medical responses from both Kymani and myself. ![]() It has been scientifically proven that a baby needs to be near their mother as often as possible, especially in the moments and days directly following birth. Kangaroo care can also be done by daddy. It is just prioritized with the mother, due to the neurological and other responses. Though, there are some benefits to daddy doing kangaroo care and simply being with the baby, as well. We like to take turns as much as possible, being mindful of the health benefits, as well as what Kymani seems to want and need, and trying to follow a pattern that is in line with that. Here are some photos of Kymani sleeping peacefully after having a diaper change, temperature, feeding, and kangaroo care. She really needs the kangaroo care right now for the temperature regulation, as well as the regulation of her heartbeat and breathing. It's been evident from her monitoring that those things are better when she is getting held, especially when kangaroo care is involved. Nova's Getting More Used To Being Here In the beginning, it was a struggle keeping Nova in the hospital room and keeping her busy and happy. She has been getting more used to "strangers" (aka nurses and other medical staff) coming in and out. Nova also likes to play and is finally learning that Kymani cannot join in the play yet. She likes interacting with Kymani and sitting in our laps peacefully and gently touching and talking to her sister. She has also started talking to and playing with the staff, rather than hiding or crying when they come in, which is very good. Here's a fun slideshow of all Nova. Kymani Likes Interacting With Daddy Here's a fun slideshow of Rich holding Kymani and talking to her. You can see how she pays attention to him. She really enjoys it when we talk to her and hold her. Kymani's Goals And Progress Kymani's goals still remain the same. Eat and grow, eat and grow, eat and grow! So, please continue to send us healthy, positive thoughts toward Kymani's growth and her progress on breastfeeding. She latches on every day, but is currently only able to suckle for a few seconds or so. This is actually more than most preemie babies do at her stage. So, she is already ahead, but we of course hope she keeps progressing so we can bring her home. Keep an eye on the blog for more of Kymani's journeys!

Kymani's Travels
Lyn Lomasi gave birth to little Kymani Lyrique on June 8, 2017! She was born prematurely at just 30 weeks gestation. But miraculously, she only stayed in the NICU for about a month and has been either on track or ahead for her age, thus far.
Kymani is an East African name, which is traditionally male and means "adventurous traveler". Since when do we do anything traditional or follow gender-specific "norms"? In this family, she will definitely live that traveler legacy, proving such with her premature entrance, even though that is NOT what we had in mind when we gave her that name prior to birth. Lyrique is an alternative spelling of Lyric and she is proving to be very musical, always dancing. Join us as we recount the adventures leading up to her birth, as well as her life adventures afterward. FEATURED CONTRIBUTORS
