The Family Visits the NICU

When Ayinde was in the NICU it was a confusing time for Zion. We went from being inseperable - library, field trips, just us - to mommy being gone day and night in the "NICU." He was only able to visit on Sundays and it seemed as if his parents' focus was 100% on "the baby." But he took it all very well. Dad was as cool as a cumcumber, of course. But someone had to be. Eric stepped in and took over. He and Zion became inseparable. Zion didn't want to go on playdates or be with other children, he just wanted to be with his family. I guess he felt our pain too. I thank God that Eric is self-employed and was able to be with Zion while I spent most of my time either pumping breastmilk or visiting my baby in the NICU.
