Coworker is back to work early

[lauranicole91]

From maternity leave. She had her little premie boy on November 26 at 34.5 weeks via csection due to being breech. He's still in the NICU hooked up to the ventilator. He was only 3lbs9oz and is now up to 4lbs9oz but it doesn't look like he will be off the ventilator for another couple weeks.

She had to return to work already because her leave wasn't paid and they need money. Her boyfriend has a good job that's been paying him while he takes off but it's not enough. I feel so bad that she's stuck at work while her itty bitty is stuck in the hospital.

Although this is her second child she doesn't have much from her previous daughter who's now 5. Plus she bought gender specific stuff so what she does have is all girly, like cloths.

She went into preterm labor two weeks before her baby shower so she's at a loss and still pretty unprepared. They aren't in the best money situation either so that doesn't help.

A few coworkers and I are planning to get some gifts together of the basics. I just wish there was more we could do.

Man I hope he gets home soon! I can't even imagine.
