It's been awhile

Even after 6 months, why didn't anyone tell me it'd be so hard to go to the hospital?

Work has been crazy or i would have posted more. Bradley is thriving. Just turned 6 months 4 adjusted. Still exclusively breastfed, meeting 45 month milestones, growing... He's bigger now than my 36 weeker was at 6 months 14lb!

We're not having more children, and we just moved. Found the box of preemie clothes and knew it was time. Went to antes, where I spent 35 days. Cried, hugged my nurses. Went to the NICU. Cried when I handed over the clothes and hugged his nurses. Now I'm sitting in the car feeding my little man aka. Gigantor, and I feel empty.

I'm sure this is normal, but I wasn't prepared. I wonder, what happens now? Life as usual? No clue. But I'm so grateful. So grateful. For everything.

    I had to donate his clothes. Using them for two babies of my own makes me sad. I figured they'd brighten up an isolette or two, which was better than my guilt. Plus I told

    Good to hear an update from you! And glad to hear your guy is thriving so well! That's awesome that you donated his clothes. Thinking I'll do the same with my little guy's preemie stuff.
