Nicu babies, they just break your heart...Oh Nancy! Nicu babies, they just break your heart! Even when they are home and healthy and doing everything they should, sometimes when you think back on it, it is enough to bring you to tears, but at least it's not like those long weeks in the hospital when you are crying everywhere, in front of everyone, all the time. Seriously I cried in front of a ton of people. I really just didn't want to talk to anyone because you never knew when the waterworks would start Aylin's first resident, just a young guy would get so red every time I cried, that and every time he saw my boob. I'm guessing it was a rough rotation for him. It's so hard. Praying your days go quickly and Benjamin is home soon. Next year we should do a fun beach day or something to celebrate you and Benjamin's birthdays! It will be so much better than this year!!!!!Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-29750243362708067132012-06-23T11:20:07.281-04:002012-06-23T11:20:07.281-04:00I'm so so sorry! It's not fair and I hope ...I'm so so sorry! It's not fair and I hope he starts to perk up soon and you can take your whole family home soon because you're all healthy. I've heard that at 35 Weeks all babies (in and out) go through a major growth spurt and are sleepy and unresponsive. I hope that's the case here and he'll snap right out of it and make quick progress again!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650216689414959056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-90014467129440703182012-06-23T11:08:44.726-04:002012-06-23T11:08:44.726-04:00{{Hugs}} It's hard.

Day by day, or even hour by hour, that's the best way to do. Don't think about when he 'should' be home, or anything like that because then it's so much harder if he doesn't do it at that point, but if he does it before it's a great surprise! <br />2 steps forward, 1 step back. I think I cried more in Martin's 1st year than the rest of my life all together. Many pumping sessions were full of tears because of non-latch/sleepy baby/A's and B's/O2 stuff. <br />Day by day Nancy. You're a tough cookie, you have to be to be a NICU mom. :)Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913428516869324522noreply@blogger.com
