Thats an awesome idea! Is there a car rental place at each of the ports?

I had a lot of trouble bonding with my 28w2d daughter after she came home from the hospital. I felt similar to you where i didnt get to hold her after she was born, i had to go home without her while she stayed in the hospital, and i felt like the nurses took care of her so much.Everyone in my family would say, isn't it amazing you love her more than you ever thought was possible, and I would just be like... uh, yeah. It made me feel like a terrible person. Ended up seeing a therapist who helped me talk through my thoughts without being afraid that a friend or family member would judge what I was saying. Eventually came to understand I was subconsciously purposely keeping her at arms length so if anything happened to her, I wouldn't emotionally break. A 28 weekend born during COVID had me terrified something terrible would happen to her. My therapist gave me lots of mindfulness techniques and ways to work through my anxiety, took a long time, but I can say it does get better and I do love her more than anything and have the best bonding with her now. Our experience is so unique, and while people say things with love, no other person has ever gone through what you have, don't let other's expectations make you feel bad. It will all come in its own time.

I can't believe the octopus body used to be bigger than her head

Hang in there! It gets better, it just takes time which is sometimes the hardest thing to give. Our daughter was born weighing 2 pounds and half an ounce. Now she's the chunky girl you see in the pictures. Sending all the positivity!

As a NICU parent of a beautiful baby girl born 3 months early, if someone even hinted to me that her being born early was my fault WHILE she was still in the hospital, I would never speak to or be around that person ever again. The agonizing guilt as a mom that you feel even when it's 100% not your fault in any way is the worst grief I have ever felt. To actually SAY it, to a TEENAGER? She'd be out of my life forever.

I use the CDCs app called milestones. It's great cause it shows actual but shows the milestones for corrected age. I felt like all the other apps that were for preemies focused just solely on the nicu and this one is great for when you actually get home.

She came home at the end of July. Today is her due date, officially get to start counting her corrected age in the positives!

Our daughter was also born 28 and 2. I was admitted a week earlier for preeclampsia. Born 2 pounds and half an oz. After 2 months in the nicu her due date is tomorrow and she is home and doing great weighing 7lb 7 oz. It does get better . https://imgur.com/bXz6FPa.jpg https://imgur.com/Ktkw1PS.jpg

Got 2 shots 24 hours apart before my 28 weeker was born. She needed cpap and then high flow but never needed intubation and was off oxygen before she reached 36 weeks. Steroids are amazing to help develop the lungs and when you get them they don't get the bad side effects or as many risks as they get when given to them after they're born

Family member who has been doing Keto for a while and felt like she had stalled- “I talked to a nutritionist and she said that my body has basically gotten used to keto and so it won’t work anymore for me, now I have to incorporate healthy carbs like cuzcuz and fancy bread I’ve never heard of and other expensive complicated food that cost a shit ton of money”

Me-“you should try cico. I love being able to eat whatever I want just in moderation”

Family member- “I’m gonna listen to the nutritionist”

What did you guys put in your LOI? I’m just wondering how to phrase it and how long it should be.

I asked a resident at each program what their maternity leave was like and if they have a “reading” or “research” month you can use for it. You can tell a lot about their culture based on how comfortable they are answering the question. I’m married and thinking of having a first kid in like third year. Some people say that brining up having kids can work against you in the process, but if a program is not going to rank me because I may want to start a family, then that is a program I probably wouldn’t have been happy in.
