Oh that's so tough! You poor thing. A girlfriend went through the same thing. Thank goodness they finally took notice of your pain. Your little one is now in the best place to get strong. You will feel a lot better as each week passes and soon you'll have your baby at home with you and keeping you up at night! ;) it's a really hard time so be gentle in yourself. Dont forget to ask for help - family, friends and medical staff.
Good luck

I'm so happy that you finally got to hold her! I'm sure that was the most wonderful feeling in the world! Don't worry yourself about not feeling like a new mommy just yet; especially given the circumstances.

I'm so glad you got to hold her!!!! And yes it's totally normal, lol. I didn't feel like a new mom for about a week, and my first wasn't even in the NICU at all....it just takes awhile sometimes, but you'll get the feeling and then you'll get scared but that's OK too. I hope she's well on her way to coming home with momma!

It's totally understandable to feel upset and depressed given what you have just gone through/are going through. First, take time to heal YOU, don't over due yourself.  Cadynse needs you to be strong when she is ready to come home.  Second, when you feel up to it, spend as much time at the hospital by her side as you can.  Good luck, we are all here for you for whatever you need :)

I am so sorry to hear that your appendix burst and that you haven't been able to hold your little one yet! But keep us updated on how the little one is doing. She seems to have a good weight, so I bet she is strong enough to hang in there and be tough for you! :)
