Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm fascinated by NICU practices. I also imagine my experience with Noah being there for 105 days and Grace being there for 80+ days then transferred to a more intensive unit is different. I mean, if my kid was there for 8 days or less, I might feel differently or they may have done it differently.

But even in Huntington's Peds, they took photos of the baby and us then lowjacked him. It was fascinating.

I really don't need FOUR pairs of shoes (five if you count flipflops) for a week in which I will mostly be in the house and yard with kids. But do I still have 4 pairs lined up. Sigh. Two. Two would suffice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't take the pairs on the end. Solved!

Dog is my co-pilot.

Kat, I've been a NICU nurse for over 30 years. I've seen quite a bit of change in NICU practices! I'm so sorry you and Noah and Grace have had such an extended ordeal. I never had kids and I think that working in the NICU since I was 21 was a major contributing factor to that decision.

I can see that. One of the nurses N&G had was 8 months pregnant. She was delivering at the hospital. Her fervent wish was that no one from the team would have to attend her delivery. One of the night neonatalogists did though.

She named her son Noah too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I just thought of ita, too. [link] Crossposted because I'm ridiculous.

See, I let the Man Band slide on by, Cowgirl.

msbelle, that is hysterical. I wish it were prettier, somehow, because I'd totally use it.

We had plants growing in torpedo shells at our place in Jamaica. Very terribly strange. They were there when we bought the place...

I just wanted to make sure that everyone had the opportunity to experience Mission: Man Band. MAN. BAND.
