My NICU Graduate's Journey
I went into the hospital at 24 weeks pregnant and ended up having him at 27 weeks and 5 days he was in the NICU for 2 1/2 months leaving him every night was so hard and I was doing it as a single parent on my own and it was the worst but the nurses we had definitely made us feel loved and I knew my baby was getting taken care of but as a mom and a single mom I still a year later have nightmares and I still cry when I see the old pictures

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He is growing and thriving every day and he is the happiest baby
