I remember many of my NICU days with Emma and Darrick II like it was yesterday. For Emma, it was about 5.5 years ago and for Darrick its been 3 years. I remember different things that happened, the smells and sounds. However, I do know that due to the amount of stress I was under at the time there are details that I have forgotten!
One of my blogger friends, Bianca Dottin from her self-titled blog Bianca Dottin and the creator of the nonprofit Mamas of the NICU has created the perfect journal for parents of little ones in the NICU. I wish there was something like this around for both children, but especially for Darrick II. His death was a traumatic experience and I know that in telling DJ later on about his twin I wish he could read my thoughts from that time and see pictures and possibly keep it as a keepsake for himself, in order to know more about his twin!

Again, in looking at these pages I wish there was something like this around when I was a NICU Mom. I would’ve purchased one while being in the hospital with Emma and another one when Darrick II was in the NICU! And being a NICU Mom I know the importance of being able to get those thoughts out by talking about them and being able to look back and reflect on them!
