đź’ś September is NICU Awareness Month đź’ś
And while NICU awareness is something we talk about a lot around here, there are still parts of the NICU that are really hard to put into words unless you’ve lived it.
It’s the sound of the monitors you will never, ever forget.
It’s sleeping in a chair beside a tiny bed because leaving feels impossible.
It’s celebrating the smallest victories while quietly worrying about what tomorrow might bring.
It’s watching your baby fight while wishing you could fight for them.
And it’s the people…
The nurse who holds your hand.
The doctor who answers every small question.
The person who reminds you that you aren’t alone.
Some NICU families get to pack up their bag, buckle their baby into the car seat, and drive home. We know that kind of miracle firsthand with Jack.
And some families gain an angel. We know that heartbreak, too, through sweet Romy. 🤍
That’s why this month means so much to us.
Because NICU journeys don’t all have the same ending, but every baby matters. Every story matters.
This month, we’re thinking about the babies still fighting, the babies who made it home, and the babies whose tiny lives changed their families forever.
Please share your NICU heart below and your story if you wish to. We’re so glad you’re here. 💜
