Today was a fun day for me because I got to hold Madison for the first time. At first, I preferred that Madison was held by Janna --you know, the whole mother/baby bonding thing is important. But it was finally my turn, gosh darn it! It was great to hold her. She sat there looking at me as if she was thinking, "wait, you're not my mommy. . .who is this person?". She seemed snug as a bug in my arms. I think they encourage "skin to skin contact" even with dad, but I felt a little weird about taking my shirt off in the NICU. I don't think Madison minded too much that I kept my shirt on. Then again, maybe she'd find my thick bed of chest hair rather comfy!
In other news, Madison keeps increasing the size of her breast milk feedings. She's now up to 12 ml's!
Oh, that is so cute. She loves her daddy.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so great.. 12 mls of feeding is great. Now it is time to grow!!!!!Cant wait to see her today.
Mom
