I begged my Dr. to induced my labor because Abram was a rather large baby. Luckily she listened to me, he had some complications due to the meds they gave me and I had an emergency c-section because of it. I feel tremendous guilt for putting him through that but my Dr. said I would have never delivered him naturally and if we had waited until his due date, he may have been stillborn. Those words just scares the shit out of me. <br /><br />I feel very blessed that both my boys are healthy and made it to the other side. I have been pregnant 5 times. I know I am done having kids, I don't think I can take the stress again. lol<br /><br />Take care of yourself!!! <br />DanielleDanielle Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288807793064942155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-22877313890446315622011-07-18T13:15:37.043-04:002011-07-18T13:15:37.043-04:00Kaia is beautiful, and honestly, I don't see a...Kaia is beautiful, and honestly, I don't see anything wrong with the shape of her head. My daughter had a football shaped head, it was more oblong than round like her twin brothers, but it's fine now, no one ever noticed or said anything about it.<br /><br />:)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415229964527523951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-23548605886459673992011-07-18T09:54:20.718-04:002011-07-18T09:54:20.718-04:00She is beautiful!

She looks like the sweetest thing.<br /><br />Remember how after you found yourself a part of the babyloss world you kinda had to find your "new normal"? Well, I've discovered that you have to find another "new normal" with a rainbow baby. <br /><br />I know everyone who becomes a parent has to find a new routine and groove in life - but I think there is something a little extra we babyloss moms have to adjust to once our rainbow babies get here. Our experience as parents of living children is not the same as most people who become parents. Babyloss "colors" parenthood - I'm several months in now with my rainbow baby, and I still feel hyper-aware.<br /><br />I look at my little boy and am so grateful he is here. Almost six months later, and I still can't believe my good fortune. <br /><br />I am glad Kaia is doing so well! I pray and pray that the day she can come home with you is soon.Violet1122https://www.blogger.com/profile/05470143683967710014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-86460841093277097732011-07-16T18:40:38.352-04:002011-07-16T18:40:38.352-04:00Love the pictures and that you're getting more...Love the pictures and that you're getting more opportunities to do things for your little girl. We definitely cherish our time with Ian after losing Lily and even though it's hard having him in the NICU for so long I think her loss has given us perspective on how much worse things could be and allowed us a patience that we might not have had otherwise.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-18043199028274273582011-07-16T18:32:03.170-04:002011-07-16T18:32:03.170-04:00Awww...how sweet!

Hopefully your experience as a NICU nurse will allow you a few "special benefits" with Kaia, as her nurses can see that you know what you are doing. That was a hard thing for me - sometimes it felt like I had to prove that I was a decent parent and that my husband and I could be trusted to do the routine care for our baby. It was heartbreaking to even lose the chance to do a diaper change when that was one of the few interactions of the day. But our constant presence and good interactions with the nurses paid off - by the time our baby was discharged, the notes on his chart said "Parents do ALL care" - and we did and were much happier doing it. <br /><br />I don't have experience with a previous loss, but I did spend a lot of time thinking about the other babies and their families in the NICU and imagined what their outcomes would be. We were always aware of our good fortune and still are...Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194813242576110044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-13963143588682679662011-07-16T17:02:43.223-04:002011-07-16T17:02:43.223-04:00Kaia is such a beauty, I just love her sweet face....Kaia is such a beauty, I just love her sweet face.

She is so beautiful and I'm so glad you've been able to hold her and give her a bath.<br /><br />My heart started beating wildly when I read that other baby wasn't there and I started to imagine what that Mom is doing right now. So relieved that he is at the other hospital and will hopefully be back soon. <br /><br />I don't have postpartum hormones, but I have early pregnancy hormones. I saw some girls Irish dancing last night and got emotional thinking of how I just might see my child doing that someday.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860497122946287983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-12882495813793085482011-07-16T14:10:51.168-04:002011-07-16T14:10:51.168-04:00She's so beautiful and it is SO exciting to he...She's so beautiful and it is SO exciting to hear the weight gain. I used to get on the phone as soon as I thought that weigh time might be over! <br /><br />So glad you got to go and buy Kaia some of those lovely blankets at Babies R Us. I'm sure you will be making many return trips!<br /><br />I think I've seen the look you describe on the face of the neighbouring baby's mother. Because, after G died, I was still in the NICU for a long time with J, I think I saw it a lot. I think I even manage to occupy both positions simultaneously after G died and I was allowed to hold J - like the part of me that was grieving G was sad and jealous of the part of me that was with J? Argh that sounds completely insane! <br /><br />I used to have loads of experiences with disappearing babies and panic about what had happened to them. It was always a great relief when they often reappeared having been away to get a PDA ligated or similar. <i>You mean he's not dead??!!! That mommy's baby is still binging and bonging, only in another NICU? HURRAH! </i> Exactly how it feels! <br /><br />Thinking of you and your little girl and wishing you all the very best breathing and weight gain-y vibes I have xoCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-84255304695584785842011-07-16T14:02:40.414-04:002011-07-16T14:02:40.414-04:00your post also reminded me of that sinking feeling...your post also reminded me of that sinking feeling when a baby was moved.... we left MSH for SK during the serratia outbreak of '07. We had all been seperated as much as possible and I didn't get a chance to exchange contacts with a few of our compatriots. I never new if our neighbours had survived and seeing them at the picnic the next year - alive and thriving- was one of the most moving experiences of our lives.<br />So so hoping you are into the level 2 soon and on the road home.moplanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998309937928231527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-49449112973284142362011-07-16T13:59:00.544-04:002011-07-16T13:59:00.544-04:00Love the photos!
