I had to share this. My preemie will be 3 in less than 2 weeks. This article brought tears to my eyes. That whole experience brought me back and is still so raw. At the time I'd have given anything to change us being there but now I wouldn't change it for anything.
The part about the father describing the baby to the mom killed me. I remember the nurse taking a picture on her phone just so I could see my sweet boy.
Thank you for sharing this. Our boys spent 3 months in the NICU and we became friends with one of the NICU nurses there. Everything in that letter totally hit home for me as well.

7 months ago today.
The part where the dad has to choose between mom and baby got me. I didn't know until later but they asked DH if he wanted to ride on the helicopter with DS. He choose to stay with me.

My husband and I literally had an argument because they were considering transferring our baby to a specialty children's hospital and he thought he needed to be with me and not so far away from our toddler. But I was so upset at the thought of our baby going alone (and let's face it- dealing with pp hormones and the fact that I wasn't allowed to even see my baby yet) that we had what was probably the dumbest argument of our lives.
