This holiday thing is killing me. Boys still in NICU family obligations. And I am a big B! Merry Christmas to everyone around me!

    I'm sorry:(

    We know first hand how emotionally draining it is to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas in the NICU.  We were zombies last year.  Stay strong.   Hugs!

    We have to visit our girls in Special Care today. It sucks. Not the first Christmas we were hoping for.

    ((HUGS)) to you. I hope your boys are doing well.

    My birthday is tomorrow and I couldn't care less. But the doc did say Drew could be home by the new year. That brightens my day a little but I can't imagine leaving Will there alone. He needs his brother.

    We're having a NICU Christmas, too. I hate that our first family Christmas has limitations, doctors, nurses and babies plastic boxes, but we're counting our blessings. We'd rather be here celebrating than at home mourning. Merry Christmas, NICU mommas!

    Agreed!  I am exhausted.  And today is DH's birthday (I can't believe that there are two of us who are MoMs with LOs in the NICU on Christmas Day and have DHs with birthdays today!) and I feel terrible because I had not yet finished shopping for his present, so he didn't even get his present yet:(

    I keep thinking of how next year will be so different!  And I am so thankful that my girls are doing well and will hopefully be home very soon!

    My heart aches for all of the NICU mommies who have babies in the clink over big holidays. My guys were in for Thanksgiving, then one guy was discharged a few days before Christmas, leaving his brother all alone on the big day. Our family insisted on dragging us into the celebrations, and  all we wanted was for them to go away so we could trade off time with our baby in the hospital. It was a horrible, horrible day.

    Hang in there mommies, you'll get through this and next year will be better.
