Have you ever been to the NICU? If your baby weighs 3 pounds and is cut out of her mommas belly two months before her due date, then you too will visit the NICU. What can you expect? Lots of bells going off, telling nurses who is breathing and who is not. Plexiglas cases sometimes called cages but only by mistake. Quiet mothers and sometimes fathers who always give you a sideways smile as if to say "you too ah". You will sometimes see a doctor, sometimes social workers and always nurses. By the time we leave I'll bet we could run the place, or at least our part of it at home in her own bed next to ours.
