OMG this journey. I actually had the baby two weeks ago and he was in the NICU for the past two weeks on a ventilator. We only finally sprung him yesterday afternoon so the "newborn" is two weeks old already. He's not eating as much as he should and there's a chance the hospital will take him back from us if we can't get more food into him. So basically any moment he's awake I'm trying to stuff him with food :( I have hated this entire NICU experience more than anything in my life but I guess since he did almost die I am just thankful to have a happy and alive baby at home.

As for me, I bounced back pretty immediately. They had to transfer him to another hospital by ambulance right after he was born and I could only see him if I proved I could walk so I basically sprung out of bed and ran down the hallway an hour after I gave birth, lol. Two hours later they said they could discharge me but I opted to stay the night. I'm already back into my pre-baby jeans. But I think the fact that he was so ill forced me to bounce back quickly. The day after he was born I was walking to the hospital where they had transferred him.

Thanks for asking!

Oh man, what a nightmare, but with a happy ending! I think you'll be a great mother, in the sense I feel goosebumpy and wanna cry happy tears that that little boy has such a great mommy that she was all, "Birth? Psh, I gotta get to my baby!" :DDDDDDD

Of course I asked! I feel like I've watch from very very afar the whole pregnancy, lol, it feels like forever - to me. :D xoxoxox
