Please know that people who criticize without having been in that particuar situation (the NICU for 5 months!) have no validity. They can't understand. I don't think I could have reduced as you did, but I do think you made the right decision. You most certainly wouldn't have D with you now and that shows you made the best choice.

I don't know how Mrs. GG deals with as much as she deals with. The NICU staff refer other parents to her for her to offer support to them, they have used the word "model" parent on several occasions. I guess those few commenters must know the situation better than the NICU staff! <br /><br />Seeing comments like those make me worry about future generations. If this is how moms act, what are their children learning? It is time to stop judging. Get on with you own life! <br /><br />Mrs. GG, you are awesome, Dylan is so lucky to have a mom like you!Doodle's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535516520754735463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-6870679657418454172013-02-22T11:12:30.539-08:002013-02-22T11:12:30.539-08:00I have been following your story for quite some ti...I have been following your story for quite some time but rarely leave comments.

But then I decided that I'm not going to comment back to them. That is just continuing the cycle.<br />You know what being a mama is all about? Doing the best for your child. YOUR CHILD. YOUR. CHILD. Not anyone else's. YOURS. And that is what you are doing. And you know what else being a mama is all about? Taking care of yourself so that you can take care of your child. So sleeping in a chair for five months is not the sign of a good mama. A good mama goes home to sleep. In a bed. So she is healthy. And can pump milk for her baby. And hold her baby, and see her baby and be there for her baby when her baby needs her. A good mama takes care of her baby and herself.<br />And more than that, I believe becoming a mother brings you into this motherhood club, where we should support one another and stand by one another. Becoming a mother means that we should know that we can never fully understand another mother's journey but we can certainly support her in that journey. Once you become a mother, you know that the purpose of your life has changed. You are now going to spend your life caring for and supporting and advocating for another human life. And that is what you are doing. You are doing the absolute best job you can. And more than that, you are doing a DAMN GOOD JOB! Keep fighting for your son and let those who spend time criticizing wallow in their negativity!!!

You can't be in there 24/7 and still take care of yourself, which you need to do to be able to care for your son when you are there. People who make comments about something they know little about really need to back off. I've been a NICU nurse for 15 years and NEVER have I seen a mom or dad stay 24/7 and be able to function. We usually send them home to care for themselves. I'm so sorry you're having to put up with people who are ignorant of how much of a toll this has taken on you as a new mom. I'm sending you all the hugs in the world dear and letting you know, I KNOW you're a wonderful mom doing WONDERFUL things for your son in the most extreme of unusual circumstances.SLES75https://www.blogger.com/profile/12877385793219947998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-14918156687301348422013-02-22T07:02:34.524-08:002013-02-22T07:02:34.524-08:00I had to go back and read your previous blog post ...I had to go back and read your previous blog post to look at the comments. I cannot believe the nerve of some people. I'll be honest with you...I didn't agree with your choice to reduce the pregnancy, but I respected your decision. IT WASN'T MY CHOICE TO MAKE. I think we all react differently in situations. BUT with that being said if they didn't like your decision they should have stopped reading a LONG time ago. And expecting you to live, eat, sleep, and breathe 24/7 in the NICU...wow. I think that's impossible for any parent and I've never been faced with any situation like that. I wholeheartedly believe that you are doing the absolutely very best that you can. Don't let those people get you down! I think that you've done an amazing job taking care of you little boy so far! =)Courthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02361669777019324756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198969049157532269.post-91710365661255797572013-02-22T06:45:34.169-08:002013-02-22T06:45:34.169-08:00First and foremost, sending you some hugs.
