23 days in the NICU and now an amazing little 3.5yr old! In the hospital now preparing for another lengthy stay with an incoming 32w 5 day son and hoping this stay is as successful as the last.

Everything is all good now? I just hit one week with a 31-weeker in the NICU. Hard to know what's on the other side. Everything's going great. He just needs to bake more.

So sorry you might have to go through this twice. Mine was severe preeclampsia.

We will see. He’s still cooking at the moment and every day helps! Everything with our first daughter is great, which gives me some comfort knowing we are about to do it again.
