Today I didn't want to be a NICU mom.
Although Wyatt gained 20 grams (yeah for 2 pounds, 4 ounces), he had a tough day. He had many, many de-sats and just didn't seem like he could get settled. He pulled his feeding tube and nasal cannula out more than once and I only got to hold him for about half an hour because of his de-sats. It wasn't my favorite day.
Near the end of the day, he did settle in, his numbers looked better, and the nurse asked if I wanted to try holding him again. And there I sat, holding that little miracle in my arms for two and a half hours. All is right with the world.
