This is How We Do

This is a super cute thing that Charlotte does - she often rests her sleepy head on her hands.   

Kangaroo care is when a baby and parent spend a chunk of time "skin-to-skin."  It is used around the world and has been shown to help preemies with respiration, body temperature, weight gain and nursing.      It is also beneficial for bonding, which is important for baby and parents especially when baby is still in the hospital and the parents can't be there all the time.  Mike or I try to do it everyday.   She'll be all wiggly and then when you hold her like this, she becomes totally peaceful.  So peaceful that I used to fall asleep all the time too, until some nurses urged me to start taking naps.
