It has been a long road so far, they are still there and I am back at work too. I cannot wait till they are home. My due date was July 2, 2010.

It is definitely hard to leave your baby in the NICU - even just overnight! And it's a lot of work to pump, but your sister's nurses were right that even a little breastmilk helps so much. Especially collostrum, the earliest milk, which is packed with nutrients. It's the best thing a little preemie can have. Thanks for your comments Mariana.

I tried to be strong for my sister, who was balling with tears. It's hard to describe but I know that any little touch from the parent creates bonding and reassurance to the baby. It was hard for my sister, to go home and leave the baby there, it was hard to pump milk, she was uneasy, her baby consume her mind. she was told by the nurses that any little milk helps. my little nephew was born 5 weeks early. i remember seeing him in the NICU-he looked just like you described him.
