Max well enough to be (carefully) taken out of the incubator (still attached to all equipment) for a cuddle. I was extremely scared and extremely emotional, and while I tried to relax, I simply was too aware of all the tubes, and of this tiny body in my arms. We had our first family photo!
They weighed him before putting him back (a drama in itself which caused my pulse to race) – he’s now 620g, 10g less than his birth weight. Not too bad considering all babies lose weight after birth and Max has had major surgery as well.
