I am smiling as I type this because my anxiety about our first breakfast with Santa today is mostly about wrangling a 1 y.o. and a 2 y.o. at a public event with lot of stimulation; kind of like a regular mama (compared to a preemie mama). I am also posting this because I feel like every time I cross another "germ" barrier and survive with the babies, we are chiseling away at my old phobias since the NICU. We are still good hand-washers and I won't let the babies run rampant in the germs, but being able to go to this event today gives me hope that I won't be a hyper vigilant mess for their whole lives. Hopefully we will post pics later!
Re: Breakfast with Santa today...nervous!
This is such an awesome post! I love that your worries are "normal parent" worries, what a cool transition. Thanks for sharing...DH and I always get excited when we realize we are doing "normal" things not "preemie" things.
And yes, post pictures!
