Kangaroo Day!

Today was the first day Jenny got to hold Rachel and do Kangaroo care. Earlier in the day they removed the final lines to her umbilical cord so all that is left is the respirator lines and the picc line. They put her on her stomach for the first time today and she liked it! She also peeked and opened one of her eyes today a little bit for the first time!Jenny got to hold her for about 55 minutes or so, her arm went asleep but she loved it. Rachel was so good for the whole time, never had any problems with her breathing or vitals. They put a warm blanket over both mom and baby to keep the temperature high.

Jenny will write more tomorrow, enjoy the pictures

Love
Rob
