Dad is unfortunately out of town for a night so Donna visited Charlotte a few times yesterday and both visits went great. Donna was able to hold Charlotte via the kangaroo method. This is where the baby is held skin to skin with a parent so the baby can feel Mom's warmth and hear her heartbeat. Donna said that Charlotte calmed down while doing this and the nurses said they highly encourage it for both the baby and the bonding it can create between us and Charlotte. Donna changed another dirty diaper as the nurses continually encourage us to do as much as possible when we are there. They are slowly introducing us into all the deeds of parenting and we fully welcome it!!!!
