kangaroo care.

Kangaroo care is skin on skin contact where the baby is held by mom or dad at the chest.  They pretty much just put the baby down your shirt, is really what we're talking here.  We were initally told that it would be weeks before Pepper could do kangaroo care, but Megan was able to hold her for the first time around day 10, Friday, 06.03.  It was a big day.

 day 10 - 06.03 - holding and being held at last

 day 11 - 06.04: showing a little of those eyes

day 11 - 06.04

day 11 - 06.04: j + m + p 

day 11 - 06.04: the awkward, but necessary, long arm shot

 

I haven't held her yet as she tends to drop her numbers and temperature after about 30 mins. and so mom should really get her first.  Also, I don't know if she wants to be in my shirt.  We'll see about that later.
