I discuss the lead in to, and my first of 98 days inside the NICU with my new daughter.
My wife and I were destined for IVF after failing to fall pregnant for well over a year. We started all of the IVF testing, and we were able to identify what was stopping us from falling pregnant.
Just before we were about to commence the first round, we fell pregnant! But as it would play out, our special little girl wanted to make up for all of that lost time!
Our daughter arrived at 25+5 weeks, and was on life support in the NICU for the first 6 days. This place felt so foreign to me, and I was quite scared to be in here. I was so worried that my daughter would not survive, and I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
My wife and I were certainly not expecting to be in the NICU, let alone at 25 weeks gestation! But this was our path now, and we had to walk it together!
