This photo was taken 8/11, Maia was still at the hospital. Debbie kangarooed which means that the bare baby lies against your bare chest! It's insanely cool and incredibly bonding!

On a photo taking note: Try to NOT to use flash whenever possible. This will result in photos where you will need to hold the camera very steadily. Nevertheless, natural light will give a much more realistic photo over flash, which has a flattening effect. Even though this photo suffers from graininess, this is actually an asset adding to the depth and feel of the composition.
