## Caption

I just sobbed; it was just pure love and joy -- this is my baby," says Alyssa Robb of the first time she held her #preemie son, nearly 3 weeks after his birth at only 26 weeks. "It made that connection even stronger. It was real. I could finally just hold him and keep him close to me. It was wonderful." #prematurebirth
