With Avery we didn't get to hold her until she was around 10 days old. We just happened to be at the hospital when they were changing out her isolette. Let me tell you how scary it was the first time we held her. She was a pound and a half and 12.5 inches long (an inch longer than a Barbie doll) and had all sorts of wires attached to her. I never really held babies before (besides my niece a few times) and I didn't want to mess anything up. The nurses were there to get everything situated and Tim and I finally got to hold our baby girl. You can tell how nervous we were.
We got to hold Reagan right when she was born and then after they got her situated in the nicu.
Reagan was 3lbs 11oz and 18inches long when she was born so she was a little more "sturdy". LOL She was 8 weeks early but almost the length of a full-term baby. We had all the experience holding Avery in the nicu so we were much more comfortable when Reagan was born.
Tim face-timed Avery so she could see her new baby sister!
