More cuddles


The thing I look forward to most each day is getting to hold one of the babies. We usually alternate each day, so that one of the babies gets to come out of their incubators and have a cuddle with one of us each day. This was Ashlyn's turn with her Mommy. We have started "skin to skin" cuddles now, which the babies apparently love. We sit and hum songs to them and they calm right down. Our body heat keeps them warm and it feels amazing to have them so close. I admit it was pretty hard to bond with the babies before we got to hold them, but now we are totally in love with them.

Oooh, warm babies on your chest - the best! They knew you loved them before, but now that you can cuddle them, they can really feel it. I'm so happy that you can now add this pleasure to the list of wonderful things you get to do with your little ones.
