I got to hold my sweet baby on Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, it was only ten minutes after my dad left and before Caleb arrived but it was the sweetest ten minutes of my life. There was no skin to skin, as they like to call it around these parts, but it was sweet none the less. I held him in his "snuggly" flat and straight in the air as his nurse changed his bedding. I held him until my arms simply couldn't hold him steady any longer. I thought I might cry because I knew I'd have to put him down but I held it together and smiled for a picture:
As if that wasn't exciting enough, we also did footprints!
We're still trying to figure out who he gets those "big" ol' feet from??!!
Ohmagosh!!! You and him are melting my heart!!!
