cant help but be jealous

Jealousy is a natural feeling; especially when it comes to your situation. Our son was in the NICU during Christmas; even though I was excited to see babies go home with their families in time for the holidays, I was also jealous that my family couldn't be together on Christmas.

My husband and I had to divide christmas between our oldest son at home and our son in the NICU. Due to toddlers not being allowed in our NICU, we had to find a balance. It didn't feel fair.. I was jealous that people were spending their holidays at home, My husband and I were in the NICU with our sick son, and our oldest was with his grandparents. We weren't together. It was terrible.

I hope that you're able to take your precious baby boy home soon. I'm sending prayers your way.
