I, fortunately, have not had this happen to me, but it does happen a lot.
I do have a harmless similar story. It was a long ordeal with my first child. There were pregnancy complications, hospitalization of my wife 1100 kms away from home, kid being born extremely premature (28 weeks/6 months), a roller coaster of a NICU stay, and a very long drive home. We had to drive from Red Deer to Yellowknife (~1500 kms) and had to stop and take the baby out of the care seat every 1 to 1.5 hours, otherwise she could stop breathing in her delicate state. It took like 6 days to get home. Anyway, we finally got home after like 4 months of hell and put the baby in the crib in the nursery that my family set up. Then, exhausted we just relaxed in our house for the first time in 4 months. During the moment, we completely forgot we had a baby. When she woke up and started crying, we were both like, OMG, we have a kid!
