To be honest I was so nervous at first. All the transferring of wires, tubes, machines, and what not got me a little stressed. After I relaxed I enjoyed three hours of bliss. I can't believe how tiny he is. I absolutely loved holding him and inspecting his head (still can't get over the dark hair I love it), little hands and fingernails, his eyelashes, his scars from heart surgery, his little feet, and absolutely everything about him. It was the first time in his three weeks of life that I got an up close and personal look at my boy. He really is a miracle everything is so perfect. I am one very happy/blessed Momma today.
People are always shocked that he was 14 inches long at birth. Here he is all stretched out to show off his long limbs.

You look radiant. What a happy day. I hope you enjoy many more days like this one.
He is amazing! I cannot believe how small! I know he was small, but seeing him up next to you, WOW, it's hard to believe that something could be that small! He is so handsome!
Your first picture made me cry! I am so happy for you and can't believe how small he is! It's hard to comprehend his size in the pictures, but he is such a cute boy! XOXO
what a happy day for you. When I got your text that you got to hold him I started to cry at work. I was dying to get the text back with a picture. Yes, I was the proud Grandma that texted everyone the picture. I am so lucky to be close so I can go and see him when ever I want! I love you guys so much and feel very lucky and proud to be close to watch you and Travis handle this whole situation. You two are amazing. I love you both so much and couldn't be prouder.
Wow Teres! He is TINY. I am so glad that everything is going well and that you were able to spend some quality time with him. What a precious gift. I love how he always kicks out of his blankets. How long is he going to have to be in the NICU? Will Boston get to see him at all before he goes home?
Teresa -- he is SO handsome and I cannot believe all of that hair!!! I was so exciting to hear you got to finally hold him -- and for that long. I can only imagine how precious that time was for both of you. He is such a miracle boy and is so lucky to have come to the family that he did.
