chronicles of a new dad pt 3 our baby came 4 weeks early so we’ve been in the NICU. he needs a little more time to grow. the nurses and doctors are some of the nicest people i’ve met. they are warm people who are rooting for our boy to go home. modern medicine is magician work. I have to remind myself that a century ago, we wouldn’t have predicted an early birth nor been able to do anything about it. day to day can get frustrating. It feels like our boy is being put through an obstacle course, and being held to a higher standard than a term baby. Oxygen, feeding, breathing - it’s a grind. despite it all, we try our best to be present parents. Typically we spend 8-2pm there, and then 8pm at night. We feed him, and share stories. A lot of it is when he’s sleeping, but we’re hoping he gets to learn our voice and recognize us eventually. Guilt is creeping in already. It’s weird to go home and get real sleep while someone else is taking care of our boy. Life feels a little bit on standstill. I’m kinda able to work, but it’s mostly our engineer who is holding down the fort right now. I want him to be perfectly healthy, but I hope this all ends soon.



I watched a man film his daughter's first steps and he watched it through the screen. she walked toward him and he was not there he was in the rectangle and she reached for a ghost. that is the whole thing now. we are building a perfect archive of a life no one attended
