Eventually Will Come Someday: Advice from a NICU Mom

ashspez - 09:01pm Jul 19, 2012 EST

Hi everyone! My name is Ashley Wright. I am not a doctor, a psychologist or a writer. I am an average first time mom to two beautiful thriving babies...who happened to arrive 14 weeks early. I believe I survived as a NICU mom and am now able to reflect back on the NICU experience as a positive and even special part of our family story because of a set of standards I chose to live by. If you are a NICU mom or know someone that is and are looking for advice or want to share your own visit this link.

I wrote this while in the NICU and a few weeks following as a therapeutic activity and though I would share on the off chance it would help other families out there. What a life changing experience this has been.

Mom to a 25 weeker who is now 8 years old and a 38.5 weeker who is now 6  

What a great list of tips for NICU moms. I agree with so many of them!

Thanks for sharing!
Jackie
