2nd time around
posted 14th Aug
This is my second child in the NICU.. Thank God he made it...
(have to get this out)
I forgot everything that comes along with premature babies but it's all coming back sooo clear.. He's here and this is what we're faced with....
I just am so exhausted with recovery, having to go to the hospital each day, raising my 20 month like nothing has changed, ( because to him nothing has) and trying to remember to take care of myself..
It's so hard and each day brings new obstacles to be faced, all I can to do try to do things with out breaking down in front of anyone.
My boyfriend and pretty much anyone I trust works so help is not an opition
. All I want to do is sleep... I don't feel like ever eating but I try... I don't know how to feel...
I mean I Love my sons so I wouldn't stop getting out of bed each day but it's soo hard...
Has anyone been through this? Has anyone done the whole NICU twice? Just wanted to get this out. Thanks

Sry hes in the NICU but glad he is doing well. Hope everything continues to do better with him and you get a minute to breath. When did you deliver him? How far along were you?

Gives me goose bumps to think about it. Both my kids are NICU babies, this last time around my daughter was 26 months. She'd never even been to a baby sitter before and suddenly she had to go every day so I could go to the hospital to be with my new baby. It was the most difficult, heart wrenching experience of my life. Much more difficult than my first NICU experience. Your son made it to a good gestation..hopefull he won't be there too long! Hang in there, and good luck.
