S11 E143: Calling All NICU Co-Parenting Dads ft. Aaron Vasquez

NICU Babies Parent Support

When Aaron's (then) wife developed pre-eclampsia and was ushered to the hospital in an ambulance, he quickly found himself the dad of a 29-weeker. He was wholly unprepared for the sleeplessness, the worry and the cadence of the NICU. In this episode, he shares what he did to rediscover his mental health, how he's navigating co-parenting with his ex-wife, the hallmarks of his best NICU days and how fatherhood has reframed his career as a professional chef. 💚 Connect with Kathryn Whitaker Instagram | Facebook | Website 💚 Connect with Aaron Vasquez Nourish Texas | Website 📺Socials 📺 Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest Music Thriving Together [Full version] by MusicLFiles Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/10332-thriving-together-full-version License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Bright Colors Of Life by MusicLFiles Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/7855-bright-colors-of-life License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
