My son was born on Thursday at 32+3 via c-section due to preeclampsia. I went in to my normal high-risk OB appointment and was told I’d need to deliver that day. Everything happened so fast, my husband and I were not able to process what was about to happen. We were just concerned about our baby. The birth went well despite the circumstances, thank goodness. But now that I’m home and my baby is not, I feel empty. I go through phases of feeling okay then I get bouts of anger and extreme sadness and hopelessness. I keep thinking about how my son should still be growing with me and I’m angry that my body couldn’t keep him safe. I am very thankful that my son is getting amazing care and I know things could be worse.. but those low moments make it hard to stay positive. Any advice or just shared experiences will be helpful ❤️

There’s a coworker at my job who will be leaving for college next month. We are each contributing our own items to what will be a group gift. I need some ideas on what to include for an 18 year-old boy moving into his own place. I’m not good at boy gifts but want to give him something that he will actually like.
