So today I went to a support group where I was able to meet other moms who had NICU babies. It was nothing like I thought it would be, but everything that I needed. It felt so good to be surrounded by other moms who understood how it felt to be a NICU mom. I didn’t have to try to explain how I felt because they went through the same thing I’m going through. And even though they might not have the same story as me they were able to understand me when I talked. I didn’t have to pause to explain doctor terms or hospital lingo because they know was “the box” means. (The box is when the baby needs to be re-intubebated so a nurse with being the kit that has everything they need to Re-intubate) one of the women told me that she was so amazed at how joyful I seemed and that I should start a blog so that other family who may be going through the same thing can hopefully seek me at as a friendly ear or shoulder to cry on. And family and friends who have NICU mom friends can maybe come to this blog and be able to understand a little bit what we go through. So here i am. Hoping to make friends and spread some joy.
