What you're experiencing is fairly normal, especially since you can't take your daughter home with you. Your hormones are going crazy right now, and seeing your newborn in an ICU crib doesn't make matters any easier. When I had to leave my daughter, I bawled the whole way home, even though I was only going home to get a change of clothes. I cried constantly. It's normal at first. If the crying and sadness persists for longer than a month or so, it's time to talk to your doctor. How is your little girl doing?
