scmn | I remember the day we left the NICU with our first child, it's a day you don't forget. The nurses in the NICU were awesome, but I remember telling them if we never came back it would be fine with us since that would mean our future babies were healthy and on time. Our third child is 5 weeks today and she was only a week early so no NICU for her.
One thing I remember vividly was Olivia taking her car seat test where she had to spend 2 hours in the car seat because we lived further than 30 miles from the hospital; had we lived closer she could have gotten by with just an hour long test. The NICU really wants to make sure they are ready so they don't have to come back. It's hard work becoming a NICU grad. Congrats to Claire. |
