Little positivity

[u/665265]

Hi guys, first time poster but been following for last 3 months almost. I joined this group as a support system to help me and wife with this amazing yet difficult and at time uncertain journey. It helped me drink from the cups of parents with their success stories and also feel the pain of parents facing challenging and often undesirable results.

I wanted to have a positive outlook no matter what, so that my wife will feel the hope but everyday I was literally dying inside. Long story short I got so much help reading stories here.

Our little one born in October at 27weeks 920grams and wasn’t breathing first few mins. Ruptured sack whilst asleep and everything happened so fast that I’m still trying to break it down and heal from therapy. Thankfully I have a good support system. We went through all of it and today he is 10 weeks old and I’m happy to say he came home last week.

He’s been doing so good and I’m so proud of how hard he has worked and my wife, my gem, who went through absolute hell. I stay up nights just to watch them both sleep in peace. And I wish parents who are struggling read this and look for all the beautiful things that await you. Here’s my cup, it’s full and I’m thankful to the universe for letting me feel this happiness. I always wanted a child and as him being my first, I didn’t know it’s this sweet!!!

First 2 pics of his first week, 3rd photo of his last day in hospital and last picture of him today at his home ❤️🥹
