I was born prem, and sometimes wonder if those few days I spent in an incubator, with not quite as much touch, has now caused me as an adult to crave it

How premature were you ((sugahorse))? Both my girls were 7 weeks premature, but fortunately I would take them in and out all day long. I really missed not having them come home right away. I used to pull the curtain and lay them on my bare chest with just their diaper on - it was a wonderful bonding for both of us.
I was just thinking - isn't it funny how it feels heavenly when someone else combs or washes our hair but when we do it ourselves, it doesn't feel that good.
