Brief update from Heidi before getting some rest tonight...
Both Shane and I were lucky enough to be able to hold our snuggly baby boy today for 1.5 hours each. I was able to at 5pm and Shane at 8pm. What an amazing end to an amazing day.
They call the skin to skin contact way of holding the baby kangaroo care because it's similar to how kangaroos carry their young. This type of holding promotes wonderful bonding between baby and parents. We are truly blessed and can't wait to hold our little kangaroo again and again and again. It's also so nice that Connor can actually cry now instead of having a lip quiver when he is sad. He hasn't cried a whole lot yet but when he does at least we can try to comfort him.
Can't wait to see him again tomorrow.
