Charlotte's first outfit

We have reached our next big milestone! Charlotte weighs 3 lbs 5 ounces which is 1515 grams. On Friday evening, the nurse told us that when Charlotte reached 1500 grams, that we could put her in her first outfit. Then, they will turn off the heat in the incubator, and she will start working on maintaining her body temperature on her own. However, she also told us not to rush it, because they want to make sure Charlotte has enough body fat to keep herself warm. To our surprise, tonight our nurse said, "She is big enough to put her in clothes if you want." We were shocked. She said it so non chalantly. The look on our faces was priceless. Before we put her in clothes, we both were able to do Kangaroo care with Charlotte. This is one of the first days where we each were able to hold her in two separate care sessions. She maintained her breathing well during both sessions. We can definitely tell that Charlotte is staying warmer while we hold her.  Then, after the Kangaroo Care, we dressed Charlotte in her first pair of pink, footy pajamas. She looked adorable! It was a wonderful evening.
