Imprints

In prenatal classes and at the hospital, they tell you about skin-to-skin and how important it is. The baby hears your heartbeat and feels warm and secure against you. It encourages bonding. I was sold on the idea just because I love cuddles. In the first week after Oakley was born, I got some pretty interesting photos of the effects of skin-to-skin cuddling.

So, yes, this is my freaky belly button post-delivery when it was still all stretched out but if you look to the left, you can see a footprint on my belly

Here's another imprint. This time it's an ear.

Little baby parts are so cute. :)
