First Days

Instead of 2 hours of skin-to-skin care, we did 9 hours in an effort to help Elias regulate breathing, body temp, and his blood sugars. 
The doctor was nowhere to be found when Elias was being born, so Billie the nurse of 46 years coached and caught!
More skin-to-skin with Daddy. 
Denise the nursery nurse let the boys take Elias' foot prints, change his diaper, help with his first bath, and put his diaper on. Lewis watched intently but didn't want to help. Augustine helped with anything he could!
Augustine can't get enough turns to hold Elias. Lewis likes to touch Elias' soft hair, but doesn't want to hold him.
