Mommy's hand over little Beckham. This is how we "hold" him for now.
Daddy's hand showing how little his arms and body are. His skin looks very red because of the large amounts of Magnesium that they gave Brittany in the days leading up to the delivery. The shades he is wearing are to protect his eyes from the bili lights, the UV lights he has been under 24-7 for the past few days to get his biliruben levels down. The apparatus on his nose is the SiPap. It has little nasal prongs that go into his nose and provides pressure to help him breathe. Also, they have put tegaderm, clear sticky plastic, on his elbows, chest, back, and other areas to help protect his sensitive skin and keep moisture in.
These pictures make you look like a giant! I am so glad you can hold him now. I can't believe a baby can be that small :(
