Enjoying the milestones along the way

It's interesting because a few days after I wrote the post about having a hard time that I couldn't hold Skyler, and comfort him when he was upset--I got to hold him! It just so happens that we showed up right when they were changing his incubator. I guess the nurses do it every two weeks to avoid infection. He felt so warm in my arms. I held on to part of the tubes in his mouth while I held him, even though there was someone holding it for me. I'm always concerned that it's not comfortable enough for him so I held it closer to his face to give him more support. It was only for a few minutes but I loved it. I probably would have enjoyed it even more if I wasn't so concerned about his tubes and IVs. It's hard not to be but I'm sure I'll get more and more confident as time goes on. Heck, I might even let Chris hold him one day :) Oh, and I know it looks like I have man hands in some of these pictures, but they're actually Chris' hands I promise.
