Happy Hump Day!
How is everyone this morning? Hopefully better than yesterday for most of you.
Doing ok here except for my ear. It hurts when there's any pressure on it and not sure why. Just started yesterday so I hope it goes away quickly.

Re: Happy Hump Day!
Good morning, Elizabeth!
I'm doing alright... sleepy because Greg didn't sleep well. (I feel bad, but I really enjoy my few hours sleep after he's gone! It's so much more peaceful.) Otherwise, I'm very happy and excited it's Wednesday and the week is half over!
Good morning. Had my CPA banquet yesterday and since we got home after 9, David spent the night at my IL's house. So I have the whole house to myself right now to work. It's a little too quiet though.
Other then that, not much going on.
Morning. I'm doing well today, can't complain. I am trying to figure out how to hide a grill until Sunday. Grill = Mark's Fathers Day present. It's set up for delivery today and the package says it weighs 50 something lbs...nice.
I keep thinking about Jen & those babies though. I hope and pray that they are (& will be) ok.
Yes I can't stop thinking about them either!
Mel, I can't remember.. how far along were you with David?
It's gut-wrenching for us to think of them... I can't even begin to imagine the feelings when you're the parent(s).
I've always heard the NICU doctors - and particularly nurses - are some of the best medical staff, usually.
Ya, I hear ya Mel. Emily was only in the NICU for 5 days but, still, it was the worse 5 days of my life and I would never want anyone to go through that as well.
Again, my situation is TOTALLY different then Jen's or even yours Mel. I couldn't imagine a long stay like that.
That's not how I took it at all. I couldn't remember, though, and was curious. Plus, it's always good to hear/"see" babies that have made it through and are now healthy, thriving toddlers (like David).
Oh I know but there are people that automatically bring themselves (or their kids) into every situation to compare it to what the person is talking about. I make an effort to not do that and in this situation I just wanted to put a fair warning out there.
I hope Jen talks with Kristi (I think her girls were born a bit earlier than David) and is able to get some insight on what to expect and hot to deal with emotional rollercoster.
Although you know in your mind that the hospital is the best place for them, that they were not supposed to be born yet and to treat the hospital like they are still in utero, it's hard not to blame yourself. You feel so helpless because there is nothing you can really do but to pray to God that those little miracles grow and can be released as soon as possible. It's such a strange feeling to be a parent and be completely helpless. You have to take a back seat and trust that the nurses and doctors are doing all that they can. It takes a special person to be a NICU nurse/doctor and I truly believe they found their calling in life because they are the most gentle and understanding souls.
I feel very bad for Jen. 29 weeks is early. Meredith and I are part of an online private group and there unfortunately are many sets of multiples born between 25 and 30 weeks. They will be in the NICU for a while, but hopefully they have a wonderful team of nurses and doctors to help Jen and her husband through this time. All of those babies that were born early are doing really well now. There is one woman who had her babies at 27.5 weeks and her sons are now thriving and over a year old. They have a long road but there is a lot to be hopeful for as well. Mine both had nicu stays but those 2.5 weeks make a huge difference. It is nothing like what Jen's babies are going through.
Thanks for that info Kristi! It certainly helps to understand what's going on.
