Playing Catch-Up

Some photos from the past week or so…

  Me feeding Justin for the first time (3 days after he was born – first bottle). This was very awkward. If you can, look at how I had to have one arm in each isolette hole. Had to hold his head with my right hand and feed him the bottle with my left hand. Not an easy thing to do….and I have tendonitis in my wrists. Not so fun but I’m not trying to complain.

He could only eat 20 cc’s at a time.

The first time we were able to hold Justin: Oh how tired I look….but I’m still proud to be able to hold my baby (after 4 days).

J’s sweet, precious feet.

  This is the kangaroo hold. Skin to skin is supposed to be very relaxing for the baby. Notice I had to keep the oxygen next to his face but it was nice to hold him. 

Memama holding him for the first time.

  I took the below photo before I knew we’d be leaving the same day. Great one week birthday present!
