nurse to mix Melly's special formula? Who is going to check their
vital signs every day or just check any little noise, squeak or
breath? Eek!
Damon and I have basically decided we are sleeping in shifts, since we
both don't feel comfortable sleeping at the same time. Is this why
people say we won't ever sleep again??
They are so beautiful and we are so blessed. I am sometimes still in
disbelief the past week even happened. Bmom is in a regular room as
she recovers from her major surgery. Tentative discussions of release
have mentioned Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
I'm exhausted from the stress of the week but can't sleep.
I remember that "wired" feeling so well. It's hard to shut your brain off and sleep, especially when newborns make SO many noises while they sleep! That's what got me started wearing earplugs. :)
ReplyDeleteYou will reach a "new normal" and find ways to make it all work. They are so beautiful, you guys! xoxo, Amy
Julia had to be in NICU for 10 days after birth, so Chris and I remember what that feeling is like! We appreciated EVERYTHING we learned from the nurses - down to diaper changing (for me!) I remember it took a while to get used to skipping the part where they measured input (amount she ate) and output (weighing the diapers)! You guys are already amazing parents and all four of you will create your own routine! Enjoy every minute! Love you guys, Michelle et al
