First Snuggles

Kangaroo

One day after going out for a walk, we came back to Alan's bed to a suprise... he was being extibated (getting breathing tube out). This was a perfect opportunity to do some Kangaroo Care (bare skin chest to chest holding that is proven to be medically beneficial to the baby - apparently its what kangaroos do).

It was nice to finally see our handsome little boy's face. Oh and here was when binky first got introduced. He has switched to a slightly different style since but Alan and Binky have been attached every since. It looked so huge when he was that tiny.

First Feeding

Here was Alan's first tastes at the bottle. He had breastfed immediately after birth but hadn't gotten around to any eating during several days of NICU drama and being intubated.
