“We are incredibly thankful to all the NICU and SCN nurses at the Royal Womens and Sandringham hospitals. Leaving River every night was so hard but knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made it a manageable experience,” she wrote on another slide.

“The last 3 weeks was an emotional roller coaster but I do want to say I have so much respect and understanding now for anyone who has been on this journey or is currently doing it,” continued Dore, “because it is the most challenging way to begin as a parent. I never knew until we had to do this ourselves so just want to acknowledge those warrior women and men, especially being NICU Awareness month.”

“Proud of you. Happy Father’s Day from Sunday to this big papi @bennithompson our rock and the most loving, strong and supportive man for our family,” she said. “River is so lucky to have you as his daddy I can’t wait to see you guys surfing and diving and exploring nature in the sunshine together, but for now all the cuddles and love are perfect in these moments. River and I love you.”
