I felt like I should have know those things already and done something different. It is nice to bring a baby home though. Finally got to do that with my son. They couldn't understand why I was in such a hurry to get the heck out of there with him! Cara- I read your post. Very nice job! Lisa-

I didn't really experience any guilt because I understood that it wasn't my fault. It was just one of those things. My son weighed 2 pounds seven and a half ounces and was 14 inches long. When they are that small, we count the extra ounce! He spent 9 weeks in the NICU and I never really felt that he was mine until he was released. It was a terribly stressful time. My second son was born a little early at 35 weeks. He was over five pounds and able to go home right away. It was such a wonderful feeling to just take a baby home! Very well said.

I totally agree. Wish I could stop wondering if she'd "be different" if she hadn't come early. Thank you. I totally agree.
