This is me after five minutes on the planet.  As you can see I am glowing a bit, but ready for the mission.  I weighed only 1.7kg, was they tell me about two weeks early, and came by C-section.

As you can see, I was already into aerobic exercises to increase my lung capacity.  And, I was none to happy at this point... where's mom anyway?

Here I am being fitted for in-flight telemetry of my vital signs after about five hours on the planet.  Because of my weight I was in NICU for about 3 weeks with a bunch of folks fussing about me all the time.  Hey, I was ready to go, what on earth is the delay?

This is where I came into the world.  Don't let the name fool you, it is really a secret NASA training facility dedicated to Mission Mars And Beyond.

You might think me asleep here, but no, I was doing meditation while they did instrument checks on my vitals.  That looks like a diaper I know but it is really a special NASA antigravity waste disposal device.

Here I am glowing again.  Of course if dad would learn to take pictures correctly it would not appear this bad.  But I did have a bit of a yellow color to my skin at birth, lots of us babies do, don't you know.

I know this looks painful but space flight is full of radiation and I am being UV qualified here.  It also helps to turn us babies a different color and get rid of the yellow.

Hey!! Excuse me!!!  Can someone please remove this tube from my throat.  I mean, really, this isn't very pleasant.  I want milk and I get an IV.. geez that isn't the same is it?  Darned acid reflux anyway.

Ok, ok, so I was tired!  A girl has to have her beauty rest you know.

Ok, yes, I do sleep a lot, but NASA work is very tiring.

Wrapped in my super insulated space blankets I am ready for any mission.

Hey, I think I'm pretty cute if I do say so myself. 

This is Preston my date in the NICU.  When the adults were not around he asked me to marry him.  Preston was born before me but I am actually older than he is, I just stayed inside longer.  His mom and dad were super people and my mom and dad liked having them as friends.  A good thing!

5 June... Yes, I really am a little angle.  Not much trouble to take care of, sleep well, and my mom and dad love me with all their hearts.
