Yesterday was a day that we will never forget. Jenn got to hold Drew for the first time! Mommy and Daddy got to sing and talk to Drew for almost 45 minutes while he cuddled on Mommy's chest. The feelings of love that we have for him are so strong and this experience forever changed us. Drew has an extremely powerful presence and we feel very blessed to have him. He is doing well and his lungs might take a while to fully mature but he is stable and oxygenating better every day. We can't wait until we can hold him again, we just love him so much.

Congrats!! That is so awesome that you were able to hold Drew for a while. I can only imagine the emotions that were going through your minds.. Merry Christmas to you guys, I will see you the day after im sure! Until then, keep me posted. Love ya!
I'm so happy you got to hold Drew! What a great Christmas present!!
Your picture holding Drew brought tears to my eyes and memories of the first time I finally got to hold my girls also. "Indescribable" is the perfect word. It helped me to feel so much more connected like I was really being a mom. All three of you amaze me. Keep positive. We continue to pray for you.
How exciting that you got to snuggle that cute little baby! Drew is such a little fighter and we love that little guy!
What an amazing picture! Jenn, you look so beautiful and little Drew looks so happy and content cuddled up to his mommy! He is such a little miracle!
Oh my gosh I am sooooo happy for you. There is nothing like holding your baby and you had to wait an extra long time so I am sure it was that much more special. He is adorable jen and such a fighter I wish nothing but the best for you guys and hope you and your new little family have a merry christmas...
What an amazing sight! Congrats on your wonderful milestone.
What a wonderful Christmas gift! I love staying up to date and seeing this made my day! How exciting to hold the little guy! What a neat picture to have forever! You are amazing and such a great example!
I guess it hadn't really occurred to me that you haven't been able to hold little Drew... what a milestone and a blessing! Our four year old Liv prays for you all and "little baby Drew" everynight. In fact, she had some coins set aside for you... which was sweet even though she kind of missed the point! We will keep praying for you. Love, Debbie & Brandon Gilbert
Wow! A stunning yet humbling moment. What more can be said about the precious bond between mother and child that is not captured in this picture? From the first moment of Drew's life we have prayed you could hold him. Indeed, how tender and merciful our loving Father in Heaven is. We love you Drew!
Yay! I'm so happy that he is doing so much better. You look beautiful, Jenn! Merry Christmas!
What a Christmas joy! Our love to you through the holidays and through this experience. You're in our daily prayers.
