If you're not following the #FionaFix hashtag on Instagram, you're missing out! Fiona is the adorable premature baby hippo that lives at the Cinicinnati Zoo and is currently stealing our hearts with her cuteness. Today she wandered into a shower that divers use on the zoo's property and decided it'd be a good spot to play and take a nap.

We all know what it feels like to take a shower in the morning and barely be able to keep our eyes open. This morning little Fiona could relate! The baby hippo was free to roam wherever she wanted (hippo-proof areas only of course) and she stumbled into a shower, craving some water. Her caretaker turned it on and let Fiona play. She eventually lied down for a little shut eye.

Fiona was born at just 29 pounds, according to E! News, which is 25 pounds lighter than the lowest recorded birth rate for hippos, so she requires extra attention from zookeepers. She is also very, very adorable, leading to the #FionaFix hashtag.

Since the baby hippo was so premature and too little to breastfeed, the Cincinnati zookeepers have bottle fed her every day since she was born on January 24. Today she's up to 166 pounds.

The zoo posted a #TBT of an even tinier Fiona after she was born. It's too much! To endlessly scroll through more cute pics of Fiona, check out the zoo's Instagram. You're welcome!
