Comforting your crying baby is such a natural motherly instinct, yet for so long, I could only comfort mine through the walls of an isolette. After seven weeks, I’m finally able to respond to her cries by picking her up, loving her, and comforting her. There are so many parts of motherhood I

You spend your entire NICU stay waiting for the day you finally get to take your baby home. What no one tells you is how hard it can be to leave the people who helped get them there. The nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, and NICU staff who cared for your baby when you couldn’t be there
