I don’t want prayers, I want my babies.

I don’t mean to offend those that find comfort in praying or for people praying for them. I am not one of those people and let me tell you I am so tired of being told “I’m praying for you” during this experience with my twin boys being in the NICU.

I am also tired of “Praise the lord!”, “Thank you Jesus” and “God is great” whenever things are going well for my boys.

All of these people that are saying these things know me well enough that this is not comforting to me and it’s happening so excessively now that it feels like they’re trying to use this situation to try to “bring me to god”.

I don’t want prayers anymore, I only want my babies at home and hide to from the world.

AngelEye breast milk tracking app.

Hi guys,

My twin boys have been in the nicu since 4/23! Since about last Tuesday ive been producing enough for both babies full 24 feeds, since then also getting about a day-2 days ahead on stashed breastmilk.

Today I got a message in Angel Eye app that there was zero breastmilk and that I need to bring some in. Which baffled me because I brought in over 600mls this morning and produced another hundred or two while there.

I call the nicu and am immediately met with an attitude before I can even ask why I got this message. She immediately is like “well you can’t trust the app”

What do you mean I can’t trust the app? As a nicu mom my job right now is to pump around the clock and meticulously track my breast milk. How are you going to say I can’t trust the app? The bottles have to be scanned in then scanned out to be given to my boys.

She then go checks and says yeah there’s enough here for tomorrow. Okay, but where’s the rest of my milk too?

I know this lady is a nurse who has been in the same pod and I did not want to cross her with asking more. I also don’t trust her as she is not typically in charge of the checking in and checking out of milk.

Anyways, I guess I am just coming on here for any advice anyone may have to offer. I am waiting for shift change to do anything further.
