My son was also in the NICU over 30 years ago. I remember the terror of it all. Luckly our sweet babies don't remember any of this, just mom and dad.

This is the first of many such trials of being a parent. Motherhood bring you to your knees time and time again, sometimes with heartache, often with joy. Did you ever imagine you could love so much?

Hannah will be ok, take a moment and enjoy being a mom and smiling, she will be home soon.

Once she arrives home you will never get another good nights sleep till she is at least 5. It's all worth it but so tiring.
Yes we really couldn't be more confident in the care she is receiving right now. They really are wonderful in there to us and to her.

I should be way more tired than I actually am but I think I am running on pure adrenaline. Since she was born I have had about 6-8 hours of sleep total. But I am buzzing around like a bee and I need to figure out how to just make myself sit down, relax and get some rest. I will need that and a lot of fluids to keep up pumping for her and getting her some real good milk.

NO I never imagined I could love anything or anyone the way I love her. and I know Brian feels the same way. I mean how can you love someone you "just met" so strongly and so deeply. I just love love love her. She is the greatest thing that has ever happened to us. It is a really amazing feeling.

The Neo-natologist is coming in in a few minutes to give us an update on what is going on with her so hopefully that will put our minds at some ease. Also the nurses have been fantastic too. Everyone has come in and were shocked to find out that she was in the NICU because she was doing so well and it was so sudden. So they are really doing all they can to keep us informed and help us out.

the prayers are working. thank you everyone.
