Our NICU CPAP didn't bother me so much because at least you could still see most of their face, I've seen some where the snorkel is in front of them and it covers the whole face

Waiting to hold Brendan was torture, he was 5 days old when I got a 5 min cuddle while they changed his bedding in the humidicrib. With Tristan he was placed on my chest at birth, absolutely beautiful moment, even though short lived (he needed to be intubated).

I also became a pro changing nappies side on in the humidicrib Brendan was in his until about 3 weeks old, even then they didn't really want him out because he was only just 1600gm, they prefer them to be 1800gm.

Ah soo many memories.... the absolute best day was running out that door and putting Brendan in the car for his first car trip.
