Well, everyone else has covered the "don't blame yourself" part very well. And I agree 100%.
I, unfortunately, understand exactly what you are feeling. I still cry at the thought that my body pushed L out into this world weeks before he was ready. My body failed my son so miserably that he ended up in the NICU for over a week. I know there is little I could have done to prevent it, but still. The thought is there. And it sucks. How about we stop being so hard on ourselves together? Hugs and smooches, as always. Carrie-targetgirl
I get it.
