That's one thing, if I HAD to pick one, I loved about the whole NICU experience. Kangaroo care. It really is the most amazing experience ever.....I agree with PP - cherish it. My girls are 4 weeks now, and I miss those first moments so much. I remember them laying on my chest and me closing my eyes thinking, "it doesn't get better than this".

Did you get a pic?  The hospital took a picture of DH and I when we first got to kangaroo with LO.  It was the first picture we had of her.. I got to hold her the day after I had her, so I'm still in my hospital gown.  Anyways, it's so crazy to see how small she was on my chest compared to now. 

I remember how awesome it felt.  That's so exciting!
