First Visitors

As mentioned in our email, the NICU only allows 4 visitors beyond D*ave and me to see L*ily. This has meant some bonding time with us and with grandparents but has been hard on the rest of the family, especially on my siblings and spouses. L*ily's first visitors have been my parents and D*ave's mom and dad. D*ave's stepmom was also able to see L*ily the day after she was born. Z*oe also cannot come up to the hospital at all, so we do a lot of exchanges in the lobby of the hospital. This has probably been the hardest part for me in the wait - I miss Z*oe and D*ave terribly, I don't get to see them enough and it is hard to say goodbye to Z*oe when I do see her. The unknown time frame for leaving adds to the stress for all of us.
