still emotional re:NICU

I was watching The Little Couple this morning and all the sudden the tears just started flowing.  The woman on the show is a doctor in the NICU and they were showing a baby with a feeding tube and it just all came back to me.  Seeing those babies on tv reminded me of my babies and how they were in those incubators using feeding tubes and all these emotions came over me.  They are almost 9 mos old but I guess those emotions can still creep up on me when I least expect them to. I feel so lucky and blessed to have them home and healthy and growing like weeds every day.  I imagine that I will feel these strange sad/happy/blessed emotions for a long time but I just didn't expect the tears to start.

I know just what you're saying! Having babies in the NICU was so emotional. I still get choked up when I think about leaving them when I left the hospital. It was pretty much the hardest week of my life. Like you said, thank goodness our kids are home and healthy now!

We are only 2 weeks out of the NICU so I can't relate as much, but yesterday the whole nightmare flooded back to me.  We had DD at the cardiologist and I just started crying while they were putting on her holter monitor.  It just brought it all back to me.
