Nursing in the NICU
This was me and Adrian, every three hours, for three days. I pretty much lived in this recliner next to his bassinet.
The nurses were wonderful, and I have to say, it was a very interesting place to spend so much time. Lots going on, and I was there at all hours of the day and night. I was in a daze most of the time though. Not much sleep. I did sleep a lot in the recliner though, while Adrian was nursing.
Once he latched on, the Oxytocin Sledgehammer hit me pretty hard, and I would find myself, head back, mouth open, sawing logs with abandon with all the NICU activity going on around us.
