DAY 5 - Holding Jordan

by Cindy

Something I couldn't imagine feeling even better than I thought it could... holding my baby boy!

I was waiting patiently but it still felt like forever. Today though, Jordan and I snuggled like this for an hour. Chris sat with me, we talked about it, he left us alone for a bit and then came back and read Jordan a story while I still held him. What a lovely little man. I do have to say Jordan was as content as I was. It was so apparent. His breathing and heart came to a nice steady pace once he lay on me. Today Chris let me be the one to hold him. Next time it'll be his turn and from there... it gets better and better! Now we just encourage him for a healthy progression so that he can leave Level 3 care and go into Level 2 hopefully at St. Jo's closer to us.

We will now be involved in changing his diapers and doing daily caring for him as we learn how to hold his tiny little body. I'm so happy we've gotten so far in such short time. Again, our little man is such a super star!
