Anyone want a baby?
I'll give you mine.
One baby for sale! In excellent, like new condition. Barely been used. A little on the small side, but with room to grow. Great genetics, very attractive, seems bright (but that's just a guess). Comes with more clothes than he can ever wear, a basket, two slings, and some great stuffed animals. Must also enjoy nurses and hospitals, as he lives in the NICU. Can breast and bottle feed. Buyers must have thick skins, lots of patience, and enjoy sharing the kid with others. Going for a great low price. Inquire within.

Seriously, this kid must be a trickster. He bradied again, the little fucker. I mean, my sweet little angel. So.... assuming no more of those, and we can't really assume that, can we? it'll be this weekend. Saturday puts him at one month. He's a sweet, mild tempered, happy little guy, but clearly he wants to live in the NICU. When I found out about the brady my first instinct was to sob. Two deep breaths later, I wanted to give up: give him away, end this roller coaster ride. One big deep breath after that, I just resigned myself to it and moved on with my day.
I spent a 12 hour day in the NICU. God, that was boring and awesome, exhausting and easy. The NICU is so unrestful but little B is such a delight. Today, as I knew it would be, is hard. I never want to go back to the NICU. I'm totally burnt out on the place. But I miss little B even more after spending all that time with him, so I want to race over and hold him in my arms.
I can't wait for when my life is about more than hospital policies, hours spent at the NICU, and endlessly preparing for an (almost) baby.

The only nurse who doesn't say that is the only nurse who has had a child in the NICU herself. She gets it.

Also, we've had two attempts at breastfeeding with out the nipple shield! Yay! His mouth is getting bigger. I hope to experiment more with that once he's home.

Re: Hi friend
Thanks for your hugs and love. Things are getting better. It's going to be soon I think!
