NICU life is not easy ?

Although I've been able to see my beautiful son every day, I can't help but feel like I am missing out on special moments and bonding time with him. I've never had an experience with any of my babies being in the NICU, so this is common new to me and I'm not handling it very well. I can't stop thinking about my little baby being all alone without me there by his side 24/7. It's hard not being able to hold him, especially since I only got to hold him for 5 minutes after birth because he was immediately taken away. My heart breaks more and more every day and I can't wait until my little baby baby is ready to come home. I know he's under the best care and needs to be in the NICU until he has reached all his milestones. Everything was just unexpected and I never imagined not coming home with my baby. All I can do is live day by day and hope for the best. He is a fighter and making improvements daily, so I am staying positive and trying my best to keep myself together. To all the other mother's who have babies in the NICU, stay strong...we can and will get through this ! Prayers to all our babies and may they continue to be strong !
