One day, he'll be two: Words of wisdom from a nurse to a NICU mom worldprematurityday
There are some photos from that day, sure—of me, hooked up to fetal monitors, giving a thumbs up; of my smiling husband, sitting in a hospital chair, waiting for my contractions to begin—but none of the little boy who changed my life forever., I was more than a little shocked. I’d done everything “right” all the way along; I didn’t eat any of the “forbidden” foods, I took my prenatal vitamins and tried to keep my weight gain in check.
I will never forget the moment that we passed through the NICU doors and I saw my tiny baby in his isolette, hooked up to a cluster of tubes and wires and machines. I felt. I wanted desperately to hold him, to comfort him, to make everything okay. Instead, I whispered to my husband that I needed to go back into the hallway to get some air.
It’s the kind of thing that you can’t fully appreciate in the moment, but those words have played over in my mind countless times since the day we brought Bennett home from the NICU. With each doctor’s appointment and NICU follow-up, each month that passes and each new milestone that he achieves. One day. One day, it seems so far away. And then, one day, it’s not.
