Kanga, Roo, and Daddy too

We got to do some Kangaroo Care yesterday. This is currently fighting in my affections for the best day ever. The first time we got to hold him will always be number one on the list, but the first time I got to feel Stuart on my skin, feel his heartbeat, feel him breathing, feel him wriggling...well...I think I may have to start a different list because it's somehow number one too.
On top of that we weren't even expecting to hold him. Stuart's had a respiritory infection which is what put him back on the ventilator. He's been incredibly fussy lately and hasn't really wanted anyone messing with him. So when the head of the NICU came over to us yesterday and asked, "Would you guys like to hold him?" it was sort of a no-brainer.
The answer to that question will always be YES. Even when we're 70-something years old...the answer will always be YES!
