It is okay if the first time you feel like yourself is when you are back home. We spent a week in the NICU. I spent a full week not feeling like myself. I felt torn between a mother of two with one in the NICU and one at home. My son was struggling at school/ at home while we were away. It was confusing for him because we all thought we would be home together much sooner. The first time I felt wholly myself was when we were back at home and I was no longer torn in half. One thing people do not talk about is the transition of being a mother of only one child to a mother of multiples.

I so glad yall are home and your baby is doing good! It is definitely a transition from going from one child to multiple it takes some time to get into a routine and figure things out and some days are harder than others but you’ve got this momma!
I am so happy for you that you are now home! And proud of you for being so aware of your first borns needs while still caring for your newborn! The transition must be wild but you will soon get there I’m sure! I’m nervous about having another I really want to give my son a sibling but it’s an intense transition. But you are inspiring!! Stay strong mama you are doing incredible things
