Aside from the obvious of being concerned about my son's health and NICU stay, I am absolutely dreading being away from my daughter who is currently 15 months ( will be 19-20 months when baby comes ). The hospital where I will deliver is about an hour from where we live, so I will most likely try to stay in housing for NICU families there to be near my son. After my husband returns to work, he will stay with me on the days he has off and so will my daughter, but will stay home with her on days when he is working. I have my mom and MIL nearby who can always bring my daughter and stay the night as well or visit during the day, but I don't want her to be away from her daddy for a long time either. I'm trying to figure out what's best for my daughter. She is definitely most attached to me, but is such a daddy's girl too, so I know without a doubt she'll be fine staying with him. . It's when he'll have to drop her off with other family early and get home late and she won't have me there. I'm  a SAHM, so she is used to being with me pretty much all the time.  She will stay with certain family members for a few hours and is fine, but I just feel like it's going to be much harder on her, especially during the night. She'll be with her daddy every night, but right now we are used to all going to sleep together. I wouldn't be nearly as worried if it were just one or two nights for a "normal" delivery, but I think the average stay for gastroschisis is around 6 weeks NICU stay. Even if we're lucky it will be a couple weeks minimum from what I've read and researched. I know my sweet girl is getting older, but I really just want to be there for both of my babies, but I feel like I will be letting one of them down no matter what I do. Has anyone else gone through this? I've really been trying not to stress over this, but I just end up getting extremely upset every time I think or talk about it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
