Kangaroo Care

After Ashton was born he had to be incubated.  It was a while before I got to see him and got a chance to hold him.  When I did, it was for kangaroo care - I had read about this previously, and that it's especially good for preemies.  You can read more about kangaroo care and it's benefits here, and here.

I got to hold him a little on the first night, and then one whole afternoon.  It was so amazing holding my tiny baby boy.  All I could do was look at this little miracle - my entire world was filled with wonder.  I still do kangaroo care now that we are home.

Here are some photos...

First time I got to hold him after he was born
