My baby has been in the Nicu for a week. I wasn't  producing anything at all until I was able to hold him 3 days in. Within 2 hours I was able to pump out drops. Skin to skin is magic

People will ask lots of questions.

I honestly wish I got less attention with my baby. Yes she was born at 28 weeks, yes she's still in NICU, no I don't wanna talk to everyone because of her amazing story. I'll tell you when I want to.

And sometimes people just don't understand what you've been through.

My baby was born early at 35 weeks.  She was not a micro preemie but she needed to be NICU.  I wish people understood that even if her life was not at risk her stay in hospital was traumatic.

Often times you'll go home way before your baby can join you.

When I get too stressed about my baby in NICU and all the things we need done, I play GTAV. I climb on tall buildings, snipe people and run from the cops.

It makes you proud when you know your child is a fighter.

At 6:09 pm July 22nd, I had an emergency C section at 28 weeks pregnant. She weighs 2 lbs 3 oz and 14 in long... My baby is in NICU, but she is already breathing on her own! She's my warrior baby!

And you'll be proud when the nurses compliment your little miracle.

One of the nurses in the NICU said that my baby girl is one of the most beautiful babies they have ever had. 

Proud momma moment.
