I want my babies home... Mood

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

This is so hard. I ache for my babies. I miss them so much and just want them home with me.

I stayed home from the hospital today because I overdid it yesterday and am in alot of pain but I don't know if my heart or my body hurts more.

This is so very hard.

Please ladies help or any words of wisdom is needed.

I'm praying so much for your little ones. I am praying they continue to stay strong and fight everyday. I'm sure they miss you too. Keep strong for them. Keep the updates coming. The picture is wonderful. They are beautiful!!!

My oldest daughter was born at 35wks and had to stay in the NICU for 2 weeks. It is EXHAusting! Just know that you have to care for yourself FIRST. Because if you aren't well then you won't be able to care for those babies. My hospital let me stay in my room as a "Guest" Once I was discharged from the hospital I got to keep my room for free (until they ran out of rooms). They do that so you can stay close the the baby and it helps w/ breastfeeding/pumping. Maybe you could ask if they have this program? As for the emotional aspect it helped me to journal everything. I expect you have "hands on" times? where they feed/hold the baby? I would right down everything the baby did at each hands on (it really only takes a few minutes) then I could look back and see the tiny steps she'd taken as well as the big ones like taking 5ml more of formula, having 5 brady's instead of 7 etc. I wish your new family the best, hang in there!

I wish I had advice for your situation...but I just don't. However, I want you to know that I am praying you find it because although not a mother to children here on earth, I understand the intense pain of not being able to be with your babies.

I'm so sorry that you can't have your babies with you. I can only imagine how difficult it is. All I can say is hang in there. You have been through so much and it has made you a very strong person. You will make it through this, too. You and your little ones are in my thoughts...

As difficult as it is you must take care of yourself while you have wonderful nurses to care for your children. Both I and my twins came home from the hospital 4 days after my delivery. I over-worked myself and I should have rested to recover from my surgery and c-section. Take care of yourself. You will have many, many, many years of time to spend with those precious babies

You have to take care of yourself so when those little ones come home you are 100% ready for them! Don't feel bad for days that you aren't there- they are in wonderful hands.
I suggest starting a journal- write down everything you're feeling, what the babies are doing, how your day is, etc. Record their little steps forward so you can see how they really are doing better every day.
And, take lots of pictures! Just remember to pull these pictures out when they are 16 years old and come home late for curfew-- they'll be visual proof that they have already put you through so much that you don't need to deal with their teenage crap too!! :) Hang in there girl, we're all rooting for you!

I don't have any great advice, but just repeating what others have said...get yourself in shape and know that your babies are being well-taken care of in the hospital. I am sure they will be home soon and I will keep you all in my prayers! :)
