The Greatest Day Ever







Today was the best day so far since little Samuel was born. I was able to hold him for an hour. What an amazing feeling to feel his warmth and touch his tiny little body. He is so perfect. Because he did well with being held today we will continue to hold him once a day and build up to more. We are really looking forward to Mike being able to hold him too.. of course he might have to shave his chest! hahaha
Mike put his Tiger Woods hat on Samuel (notice those are also my initials.. Tara Welsh) to jumpstart his love of playing golf with his daddy, granddad and uncles when he gets older.
We also got to take our very first family picture together... taken by Mike of course. Thank goodness for his long arms.
Samuel is eating now via a tube through his mouth to his stomach. They are giving him 1/2tsp every 6 hours to start.
The doctors say he is doing extremely well!
