Kangaroo Care

Today was really good! Weston is eating more and digesting it well. He
is up to 12cc and needs to get to 15cc at each feeding. Yesterday he
was at 10. My favorite part of today was talking with the NICU
therapist and getting to do kangaroo care! It is basically skin to
skin contact which really helps preemies' development ( and mommy to
feel better too!) I felt connected to our baby for the first time
today and fight back the tears thinking about it :) we have also been
so blessed by our families' support and patience in just being here
with us. Only a select few people are allowed to see Weston Which is
difficult. Each day I am amazed by the Grace of God in the life of our
little one. He is sustaining him and keeping him in such peace! We
already love our little boy so much and want to keep him from harm. I
have a new perspective of what Christ did on the cross and how painful
it must have been for our Father to put the sins of the world on His
precious innocent Son! Wow. We truly do not know the depths of the
love of God. Thank you for praying and for the encouragement from our
dear friends and family members. We couldn't go thru this without all
of you!

We have been enjoying the post and praying for that little guy often. I feel like we are on the other side now. I can remember when you where praying for Ezra. So faith are the prayers of friends. On you next post can you put how much he weighted?

Love Tom, Amanda, Ezra and Baby Boy Brooks
