Wife has to spend a month in hospital and baby will be in NICU
So about a weeks ago my wife went to Labor & Delivery at the request of her OB and her blood pressure was through the roof, she was transferred to another hospital that handles premature births a lot better and we were told that she has pre-eclampsia and will need to stay in the hospital until she is 34 weeks pregnant and then they will deliver our son. It’s been extremely hard and stressful the last week. She is an absolute beast and is handling this way better than I am, I had to go back to work today and I’ve been a mess all day thinking about what could happen while I’m at work but my employer won’t allow me to be off any more until I use my vacation days for my sons birth. He will most likely spend multiple weeks in the NICU and that is absolutely the hardest part of all of this, we planned on so many things we were going to do after his birth and now all of those things are either impossible or extremely difficult to do now that we won’t be able to hold or be alone with our child for a couple of weeks at least. We love our son so much and will do whatever it takes to make sure he’s happy and healthy and I’m so happy to have his mother in my life.
