#realmomlife the moment i knew i could do this was the day after my daughter came home. Hubby had to go to work and i was alone with her for the first time, no monitors, now alarms, no nurses to help. I had gotten so used to having someone hover as i cared for her in the nicu. Someone to tell me when it was time for a feed. But i did it on my own, without any crying from either of us.
