[quote=Anonymous]Having a NICU baby is hard and people who didn’t have a NICU baby don’t understand the fear and lingering anxiety, especially when it is your first. (I had two NICU babies - the second one was easier). We’ve never had a village. It was always the two of us. I agree with the recommendations to put yourself out there and go to playtime and that stuff. It’s a lot like dating - you have to be ok being kind of vulnerable. With a lot of work we did build our own village but since they had their own kids they were more for companionship and emergencies than actual help - until the kids got bigger and then magically 2 five year olds is easier than just your one. Hang in there and take solace that at least you don’t have to deal with the meddling mother in law. [/quote]
