Really wish the house would clean itself... Have zero motivation today besides seeing my baby girl…
Really wish the house would clean itself... Have zero motivation today besides seeing my baby girl in NICU. Eating Whoppers and Sweet Tarts while watching Netflix. Bleh...

Ah, so you have an itty bitty like me, although my 29 weeker I'll be 1 on Thursday. How is she doing, and how are you holding up?

oh nice! :) and I'm doing ok. I've a lot of things weighing on my mind that make it all harder than it needs to be, but I'm doing fine when it comes to just my baby girl. she's progressing well, she's 36 weeks Thursday and I'm hoping she comes home close to the end of the month.

My son went home at 36 weeks gestational. I hope your daughter gets to go home soon!! It's normal to have a lot on your mind, but you seem to be handling things well. It's definitely better when your little one is doing well. If you're on Facebook there are support groups for preemie moms.

Ya the doctor's and nurses keep saying how well she's doing. She still needs to take her full feedings through bottle or breast so that's our biggest goal right now. I'm hoping she doesn't come home too fast because we never got to have a baby shower or get all the stuff we need for her. her baby shower is the 24th of this month so... I want her home but we aren't ready haha and I haven't found any support groups for preemie moms /: I'd love to make some mom friends...

Look up "Preemie Moms" and "Mothers of Super Preemies" on Facebook. I'm in both groups. I wasn't ready for Oliver to come home but it was nice when we finally got home. If that makes sense. Lol. Are you able to get her to do non nutritive sucking while she's having her gavaged feeds?

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, Yes I get what you mean lol I'm so excited for her to be home! I just wanna be able to cuddle her in bed and not have to leave her all the time. and she is sometimes so sleepy that she won't even open her mouth for it lol but sometimes she is able to and I'll let her lay like that unless she falls asleep, which she usually is
