    I am so happy for you.  It is so special to be able to hold your baby. 

    I used to sing lullabies (Hush Little Baby) to my baby when he was in the hospital and I was holding him.

    Yay! I hope you took pictures. I still remember my first time. I remember her smell and how her tiny hands felt, and all the monitors that kept going off. Here's hoping for many more kangaroo sessions.

    Yay for you!! It is such a wonderful thing to be able to hold them finally.  I was a tad scared too so there were many different emotions.

    It is the best to hold your baby.  The best part is that you get to do it again! I read E Charlotte's Web during Kangaroo time.  I am glad she is doing so well.
