It took forever that first time in the NICU waiting room. They weren't ready for us. All I could do was cry. I didn't understand anything about why he was there honestly until at least his 3rd day there. We waited for about an hour.
When they finally let us back, I couldn't see the little boy for all of the tubes they had stuck down his throat, the monitors attached to his chest, the big machine he was connected to, and the incubator bed he was in. I couldn't see for all the tears that were constantly welling up in my eyes. I could not see my beautiful baby boy. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and needed to sleep. Husband and I did not visit for very long.
