Roscoe's first Kangaroo Care

Yesterday Alisha got a call at 3pm that she was approved for Kangaroo Care with Roscoe. Kangaroo Care is skin-to-skin contact that gets the baby used to being held and being close to the parents. Alisha and I were very excited so we rushed down to the hospital and got to hold Roscoe for about 1.5 hours. While she was holding him they told us that he'd been very stable and that his current weight was now 2lbs 9.5oz!

The videos below show Roscoe getting ready for his first hug and Alisha holding him. His eyes were very sensitive from an eye exam (which he passed) earlier in the day:




Thank you to God for getting Roscoe to this great milestone!
