Shabs, we do want them to visit and they have been visiting and they've been amazing and I'm grateful but it's overwhelming we're not used to sharing him and when we did, we eased into it, DH feels overtaken. It's not just a few people and it's them wanting to see him everyday and demanding more than 10-15 minutes with him. There's only 2 allowed by his bedside (one being a parent) and trips back and forth to take them home only to come back again so DH and I can spend more than an hour alone with him. It's just exhausting.
DH is still having nightmares and scared he's not gunna be there or get there in time if anything happens. He's on edge constantly and gets so nervous and overprotective. DH and DBs are staying til Jan 19th (Fee's due date) so hopefully DH will ease up and calm down and relax on visiting when it's just them.
The company has been great and being able to see my Grandparents and them meet my DC has been amazing. I'll miss all the chaos but need some normality back.
That's a lovely memory Shabs, my dad always kisses his incubator and tells him "be strong" in Russian at the end of his visits.
I want my dad and DB to hold him once we get the chance but getting DH to give up "his time" is difficult and when I suggest they can hold him instead of me, DH says that could be extra bonding time for him. It's hard to compromise some days. Just tired.
I gipped and gipped disinfecting the toys - did I mention the vomit when all over about a dozen toys? And my legs and slippers? I was not impressed with both man and beast or 2 little boys. Roll on tomorrow when I get a lie in hopefully
