The new face of literature? Or merely a clever procrastination device...

We're all more or less anonymous here. That gives some SNEAKY COWARDLY PEOPLE an opportunity to let loose their nastiness on innocent babies and their distracted mothers. People who play these kind of sick games are beneath contempt. They spew cruelty and then claim to be deserving of compassion because they claim to be bereaved, as if that's an excuse for the inexcusable. I don't buy it. There was no NICU trauma. No lost baby. It's a lie and a fantasy by a very screwed up waste of skin whose jealousy and self-loathing practically radiates from their posts. Please go away. Go eat worms or whatever you do in your spare time. Nobody cares about you and your ugliness. This is the internet. We’re all more or less anonymous here.

Shame on you, "Jesse". Use your head! Short story- you've heard lots like this, but maybe it's more for idiots like Jesse... My dear friend was prego w/twins, one boy, one girl (sound familiar). Went into full labor at 23 weeks. Gave birth to both. Henry lived for nine sweet hours and was a dear, lovely miracle. His sister, lived in the NICU for three months, ups and downs provided. She is now four years old. She's is smart, she dances ballet, she tells funny knock-knock jokes, and she is as rotten as the day is long when she is playing with her girlfriends! When I read about Simone, I think of Avery and her seemingly long road to "normal", which now seems an eternity ago. She is thriving in preschool and while she is short, I assure you, she has NO physical problems (hello, ballerina)! While you may feel an island in this sea of NICU drama, know that there are many survivors who are out there. Simone is one of them! Everyday, with its ups, downs and all-arounds, is another day for her. Another day that you are her loving, witty and amazing mother! Remember that! Keep the faith! Comment number 26 has no heart, and clearly no children… Shame on you, “Jesse”. Use your head!

My only advise is to take it one day at a time, and celebrate the small triumphs. "One step forward, and two steps back" is the NICU mantra. I walked in the MOD March for Babies this am, with about 5000 other people. I lost track of the number of signs that I saw for 23 weekers, and other babies born too soon - that are obviously doing beautifully now. This time next year, you'll be looking back at your NICU journey and wondering "how the hell did we survive all of that?!". Of course, by then Simone will be running all over the place, and you won't really have much time to think about it.... (((hugs)) Lori ps To Jesse - thank you, for not reproducing...The world will definitely be a better place without a child raised by you. Alexa,

I walked in the MOD March for Babies this am, with about 5000 other people. I lost track of the number of signs that I saw for 23 weekers, and other babies born too soon – that are obviously doing beautifully now. This time next year, you’ll be looking back at your NICU journey and wondering “how the hell did we survive all of that?!”. Of course, by then Simone will be running all over the place, and you won’t really have much time to think about it….

(((hugs))
Lori

ps
To Jesse – thank you, for not reproducing…The world will definitely be a better place without a child raised by you.

I'm sorry you've all had such a jolt, but the other NICU mums have indicated that Simone certainly isn't falling outwith the normal experience of a preemie. That's not to say that it isn't horrible to experience in the moment but you should take heart! This little setback will soon be behind of all of you. As for That Comment, - Jesse, you are an ass. A total ass. I know you weren't trying to stir up anything on this blog because friend, there are several hundred women here baying for your blood. So back off. What a lot for a mummy to process.
