I walked out of the room, and Naomi came over to me and told me it would be okay. She took my baby, and my husband came to console me.
This was our first night nurse of a 10-day stay. As a first-time set of parents, we were very scared. Naomi reassured my husband and I that we would be okay. She kept the mood light and had us laughing in a very scary time. The moment that really gets to me is when my daughter couldn't stop crying but only wanted me. My husband and I passed her back and forth trying to get her to sleep. Finally, I had to give up and lay her in the crib and sobbed. I walked out of the room, and Naomi came over to me and told me it would be okay. She took my baby, and my husband came to console me. That meant the world to me. I was so very scared; knowing that I had her help was something that I needed. I so wished we would have had her a 2nd time. I just wanted to give her the biggest hug. Thank you!
