We were surprised to find out today that Gabe was doing well enough for Mom to hold him. This was her first chance to pick him up and she didn't let go for 2 hours!!! Gabe was very relaxed in Mom's arms. He didn't even fuss when Shannon had to stand up so we could switch out her recliner for one that worked.If he does well through the night I will get to hold him tomorrow.
so precious! - praying for the 3 of you!!!

What an exciting time for you to hold little Gabe! I've been following your blog since day one, but I haven't figured out how to post on it yet.

ReplyDeleteOh Shannon what a beautiful picture! You make such an adorable mama. I think about you and Gabe everyday and say a prayer to keep his tiny body strong. How lucky he is to have such loving parents. :)
