Kinley is 36 days old today and it is the first time that Kathy has been able to hold her. They are a perfect couple. My two beautiful ladies. Kinley fell asleep almost immediately after being set in her mommy's arms and she remained there, fast asleep, for 3 hours. FYI - it did take two highly trained nurses to move Kinley (with her tubes and wires and ventilator) from her bed and into mommy's arms. Here are some pics of mommy's first hold.

What's going on here? This isn't my bed!
Sure is comfortable though. I'm getting a little sleepy.
Going. . .
Going. . .
Gone. (Oh yeah, GO WILDCATS!!!)
The Melcher Family. Together at last.
Still sleeping.
Kinley's belly button finally fell out the other day.
Back in her old bed.
Kinley was so happy and content in her mommy's arms today that I didn't want to disturb here. Maybe tomorrow I will get my chance to hold my baby girl.

AWESOME job on the pictures! I couldn't have done any better myself! Love them! Love them! Love them! It just fills my heart. Keep them coming.
Beautiful pictures! You all look so happy and Kinley sure does look comfy in Mommy's arms. I'm so happy for you! Hope Daddy gets some quality Kinley time soon. I can't wait to see more pictures of the Melcher family together (and less tubes!)

Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures. They brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for the three of you!
Way to go Kinley you are getting closer and closer to being able to go home with your mom and dad.
Congratulations Melcher family!

Love the pictures! What a great feeling it must have been to finally hold your baby girl! Keep up the good work Kinley! Can't wait to see pictures of you and your daddy, I'm sure he will be a natural just like your mommy was!
Kathy, what a beautiful portrait of mother and daughter! You are a natural! And I love the look in Kinley's eyes when they first put her in your arms. Enjoy these captured moments! And Kevin, what a gracious daddy, to let Kinley rest contently in her mommy's lap. I am excited to see her in your's next! You guys are amazing! Know that you are in our prayers! Love - Aunt Karen & the Dear gang!
We agree...awesome pictures...keep up the super blog work with commentary & pictures! What a beatiful family you three make!
Now you know why God made arms & laps!Looing forward to Part 2 of The Seep-Melcher Family saga as it continues in the life of one young lady.Even better news is the giving away of some of those tubes...getting closer to finding out what REAL food is,eh Kinley? Congrads on successfully giving up one med & moving onto getting rid of another. Love to all..LMS+familkies
How beautiful! They brought tears to my eyes! I am so happy for all three of you. Thank you for sharing those with all of us. She looks very content to be in her Mommy's arms. Next up, Daddy! Love you!
What a wonderful day! We are so excited for you guys!

Beautiful pictures!!!!!!!
Ahhh . . . the power of love! She is certainly 'sugar and spice and everything nice'! She needs a purple bow to go with her KSU Power Cat mittens! Keep the faith Team Melcher! Group hug!
That is wonderful news! You have a beautiful little girl there.
That is one of the most natural things I have ever seen, Kinley was made to lay in her mamma's arms (i am sure daddy's too), she is doing so great, love to see her growing stronger and healthier by the day. Cant wait to see the vent tube out so we can all see her smile!
Congrats on the great day, the start of many more!
