Just wanted to say our baby came two months early and spent six weeks in the NICU as well. This was a little over a year ago.
She was fed through a nose tube for a while. We got to watch her on a web cam when we couldn't be at the hospital. But it was a "medical grade" web cam and was pretty bad all around.
The NICU had two large rooms, one for new entries and one for more stable babies. The large rooms had some nice aspects. They allowed us to socialize with other parents going through the same thing. That was helpful. It was also helpful to see the flow of babies out of the NICU as they get better. It also had some drawbacks: one baby was born much earlier than ours and the mother suffered a great deal, and did so rather publicly because of the open room.
You described your baby as new, so I just wanted to say our baby is doing amazingly and I hope things are going well for you and your family.
