“I was in the OR [operating room] when she came out. She was so small, smaller than my hand,” she shared at the time. “I saw what the intensive-care nurses do. They do God’s work. Nick and I were both standing there as they intubated her. I don’t know how they even found what they needed [in her tiny body] to intubate her.”

The couple made daily visits to the NICU, first at Rady Children’s Hospital in La Jolla, California, and later at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, for the first few months. “We spent every single day with her on my chest, on my husband’s chest,” she continued.

Malti was released from the hospital just in time forPriyanka’s first Mother’s Dayin May 2022, and Jonas marked the special occasion with an emotionalInstagrampost.

“On this Mother’s Day we can’t help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced,” his caption read in part. “After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is.”
