I just wanted to share my experience with our twins who were born at 28 weeks and spent 52 days in the NICU. We were lucky enough to get them home on Christmas Day! It was a tumultous time in the NICU, but if there is one thing I can share to other moms going through this is that it won't last forever and to use that time as a positive experience by absorbing everything and learning what you can. As hard as those 8 weeks were, my husband and I feel like we were better prepared as parents when we took them home! It is definitely something special to have preemies... wishing all of you lots of love and happiness with yours!!
I created a video to capture our journey through the NICU with the twins if anyone would like to see. You can click on the link through my blog post...
