Its tough but I know right now that being in the hospital is the best place for him, and I am sure not going to be going anywhere when he gets home! (Nov 24, 09) Thank you.

It is difficult leaving your baby alone when you go to be with family, or to simply miss your family functions. We missed all family celebrations for a long time after we brought our baby home just to keep her safe. I hope your baby gets strong enough and healthy enough to go home soon.

My son was born on July 14,2009. I was 28weeks. He is still in the hospital today. I wish he could be with us through the holidays. Sucks having a part of your family missing during this season....

I will never forget each day arriving to find a new gift at the cribside of each of my babies. Even though it was so hard to be in the hospital during the holidays, the staff was amazing in helping to bring cheer to us. Melanie, I hope you can find comfort in the experiences shared here. Afton has done an amazing job in sharing information and hope. Congratulations on your little miracles! It was six years ago that I spent the holidays in the NICU with my twins.

I gave birth to my twins last week (they were 31 weeks) and are in the NICU. They will more than likely be there over the holidays due to breathing and feeding issues. Reading things like this makes me feel a little better through this heart-wrenching process! Thanks, Melanie I just came across this site and was very touched by the above post.
