    @clary Hmmmm. Same situation for me, I had an automatic. Maybe you have a manual transmission? How long did they prevent you from driving?

    After more than 100 days in the NICU, a bit of advice to anyone just starting out

    @tgc0908 Congrats!!! What awesome progress :) Hopefully you guys were smarter than we were and had a changing table stocked before you got home! We got home, went to change a diaper I had to holler for my husband to grab a diaper and wipes..... Now the fun just takes a different twist. No...

    @clary They won't let you drive? Are you on heavy pain killers? My docs said I could drive as long as I only used Tylenol, so I did. We lived 35 mins from the hospital and my husband was working, I drove up there every day.

    @clary That is amazing that you made it so long. Good job momma! I hope the worst is behind you and that your little man thrives. Everyone in this sub knows the NICU is a rough place to be. I hope in a year you are as crazy busy as I am today chasing after a wild, active, happy little boy!
