What I came home to tonight

I was a wreck leaving the hospital without her. I cried the whole way home.

When we got home my friend was at my house. I didn't think anything of it and she took me upstairs. She and her boyfriend had painted the nursery, put the crib together, and completed decorated with items I had on a Target registry that I hadn't had a chance to buy yet.

I lost it. The room is beautiful. I know none of it is necessary for when she comes home but it's one thing we don't have to worry about now. I keep thinking about it and sobbing. It's been an emotional evening and I'm just overwhelmed by how fucking amazing our friends are.

I know that got long but I just had to tell somebody. :)

    What a wonderful gesture! I definitely teared up reading this, that was such a kind thing for your friend to do. I hope your NICU stay is short and your LO can come home and enjoy her special room soon.

    That is awesome!! Both of my kids were NICU babies so I understand what you are going through. There is nothing harder than leaving that little baby and going home. I hated every minute of it. But try to look at the positives - you get to rest up at home and heal yourself before she comes home. Also, those nurses get those kids on a schedule which makes it so much easier when they come home! I'm sure she is in great hands and will be home soon! Best of luck to you!!

    I'm with @uconnhuskie007; it speaks to your character, too, of you have friends who would do such a thing. What an awesome gesture! I hope your LO has the quickest NICU stay ever.

    How sweet! I'm sorry you had to leave her there. I had to leave LO in the NICU over night and come back the next morning and get him and it was awful. I hope she comes home soon!

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright
