(Please click on the photo for more pictures.)Jake did fine last night, so we BOTH got to hold him for a little while today.
While I was holding him, he was fussy and VERY squirmy. It didn't help that he had JUST been prodded a bit by the nurse to get his vitals. He did eventually settle down just in time to pass him off to Michele.
Michele, an old pro at holding him by now, had a very sweet and CALM time holding the little guy.
The 30 minutes FLEW by, and before we knew it, he was getting put back into the incubator. We did get a chance a little later, before we left, to have some "hands-on" time, but it's not quite the same!
Oh, and Dad got to change his first diaper today while Mom was out pumping. We'll have to wait and see whether there are any complaints about the job I did when we get there tomorrow.

Jacob is BEAUTIFUL...so much HAIR! Pete has me hooked in now, so I will enjoy checking out Jacob's progress. I know he seems very small to you, but I was very surprised to see how big he appears in comparison to other early arrivers I've seen. We are just so very happy for all of you. Marilea Meder
