Together AT LAST!

The moment we've been waiting for...the first holding...look at that zonked out babe! She loved it...probably a moment she'll never remember and one we'll never forget.
Kangaroo care was incredible. I just sat in the chair and they unhooked all of her lines, even the vent! She had to breath on her own for about 8 seconds while they got the tubes out of the isolette. They placed her on me and covered her with warm blankets. She did really well with it all...and I got almost an hour to hold her. She was very relaxed and slept most of the time, but she started to wiggle around a little toward the end since her diaper was wet. It was either that or us lifting the blanket to peek at her face and take pictures! Before we got her out...she was bouncing all over sat-wise...hi, low, hi, low...afterwards...she was still going up and down but staying in her range and not making her monitor alarm every 2 minutes.
It was great therapy, just what we all needed. Tomorrow if she's still doing really well, she'll get "Koala care".....daddy time! What an awesome day...Deo gratias!
