After 12 days in the NICU, our little bug finally got to come home! In the grand scheme, 12 days doesn't seem like much. Especially if you take into account how many times we were told he would be there for at least a month. However, those 12 days were definitely long seeming. The worst... Continue Reading →
I am constantly being swarmed with emotions. I don't think anything can prepare a person, a mother, for the feelings and thoughts that occur when you have a baby in the NICU (newborn intensive care unit).

My nurse or caretech will come in to get my vitals (blood pressure and taking my temperature). If... Continue Reading →
Within hours of my last post, I ended up in Labor & Delivery. On Tuesday evening, we had eaten dinner as normal and decided to go to the local neighborhood marketplace to get a few groceries. I was feeling pretty good considering the pelvic issues from the 2 days prior. We walked through the first... Continue Reading →
