44 days for both. For those that really know me you know it was very stressful for us. For those that only know WC87 the poster you know I don't post serious stuff here. But my girls were born at 29 weeks, 6 days. 2 pounds 11 oz and 2# 9oz respectively. Went to bed the night before with no idea at all our world was about to turn upside down, which it did around 3:30am that morning. Girls were strong and we really never had any issues other than the A's and B's and the whole putting on weight thing and regulating body temp and learning to eat and breathe and just freaking live on their own.

They turned 4 this year and are freaking adorable and I tear up every time I recall those 44 days.

Sorry for the serious post.

Can't imagine having to go through a NICU experience. We were just in the hospital with my 4 week old due to viral meningitis. Just those 3 days were absolutely terrifying.

I cannot imagine being there that long. Twins across the room from ours had been there 6 weeks. I feel for those parents. Wife made it 35 and 6 and we feel very fortunate to have made it that far.

Puddin was there 74 days and we were there with her everyday. I was very fortunate that my employer was not only understanding but very encouraging.

I remember when she was born. Didn't realize she was in NICU for 74 days. Our near 3 weeks was a beating, work all day, then up at the hospital 7:30-10 pm. That must have been so draining.

My company was great during that time. I got a letter from the HR director on behalf of the CEO saying they expected me to leave at 11 everyday so that I could go to the hospital. They asked me to expense all of my parking during my visits.

Terrific treatment.

It let us spend about 7 hours a day with her.

My employer at the time was great as well. Wife was and still is self-employed so she was up there early with them, I was able to take 2.5 hour lunches and be with them mid-day, and we both got back to the hospital as soon as we could in the afternoons. i got up there early some days before heading to work when my wife had responsibilities. but my boss was really great and I couldn't thank him enough.

And my wife reminded me this weekend it was 44 days for both, not 49. And that was a blessing, because at first one was scheduled to come home before the other but the day we were supposed to room in with her she had a breathing episode. We were freaked out, worrying about how to care for one at home while the other was still in NICU. While we were sad she had to stay, it got them on the same go home sched and it worked out for the best.

It sure seemed alot longer than 44 days...

In 2015, we had twin girls born very early and this thread was encouraging.

Thanks!

I know how that goes...

When I signed up here on TexAgs, half my kids weren't in kindergarten yet.

Now the youngest is 23. WTF??????

Moral of the story, cherish every day.
You can turn off signatures, btw
