Day Twelve. One of my favorite things to do with you is skin to skin. Its about the only bonding time we get through out the day, but it's also extremely important for you. During skin to skin you are able to maintain your body temperature, your oxygen levels tend to stay more consistent, and your heart rate is steady. I love it for you, for all of those reasons, but also because it's probably the only time you get to hear the heartbeat that you're familiarized with. Not to mention, you technically should be hearing it still from within my womb. Since I am your mom, but also a teacher, I love this time because it's our special "story time". I download a couple new, usually free since I am also a cheapskate, books for us to read each week. Then while we are snuggled up, I spend my time reading to you. You love Baa Baa Black Sheep, and my theory behind this is because this is the only nursery rhyme your sister can recall...and the nursery rhyme you have heard within my tummy for the past 20 weeks. She also sang to you Castle on a Cloud, from Les Miserable, but we will save that book until you are older. ;)
