Our Second Baby in the NICU: Quinn’s Story

After Ella’s NICU stay, I never imagined we would go through it again. Then Quinn was born at 35 weeks, and we became NICU parents for the second time. In this video, I’m sharing Quinn’s NICU story—from preeclampsia and her early birth to her 10-day stay, how different her experience was from Ella’s, and developing postpartum preeclampsia while my baby was still in the hospital. I’m also sharing what happened after she came home: repeated illnesses, PICU stays, discovering that she aspirates liquids, and the questions her specialists are still working to answer. If you’re facing a NICU stay or navigating life after discharge, I hope our story helps you feel less alone.
