My sweet babies are 1 month!!

Jennifer

I have been reluctant to post anything about my babies, but now feel comfortable after finding this board. Maybe it’s just me, but seeing all of the other birth announcements of babies that were born on time or overdue makes me feel bad that I couldn’t do the same for mine. I am a proud Mama to boy/girl twins, born on 12/1 at 36+3. My little loves spent 11 days in the NICU for blood sugar issues, feeding issues and my son got jaundice. I know I am lucky, I carried them for a good amount of time and they did not have any breathing problems. I still struggle when people comment on how tiny they are. It shouldn’t bother me, but a little piece of me is crushed when I hear it, wondering why my babies couldn’t be born bigger. No one understands why it bothers me, I don’t even know why it does. There are so many babies born in worse situations than mine, so I feel bad even complaining about this. Is this normal to be sensitive about?
