QotD: This Time Last Year
What were you doing one year ago today?
Submitted by CassandraMorgan.
Nearly a year ago I was spending every minute in the nicu with my boy.
I am still not exactly sure what went wrong. He was born in the hall
way as I was being rushed in for an emergncy c-section. Not enough
oxygen, umbilical cord came out before he did? It was all a blur.
They had in intibate him in the OR and it promise you it's the scariest
thing ever. Ever. The first 24 hours I was on magnesium for my sky high
BP and I couldnt see him, and he couldnt see me. It was horrid. When I
finally got to go down to the nicu to see him he was all tubed up and I
couldnt even hold my little guy. But, oh. my. god. I was in love. I spent
the next week in the recliner next to his little glass bassinet and I
cried more that week than I have in my life. I needed to be there, I
needed to have him in my arms, I needed to be the one to feed him, to
change his diapers, to comfort him when he cried. He's such a sweet boy.
He's doing great now, and I am so so grateful for him and the joy he has
brought to me and our family.
