Baby Choate's NICU Session in Oklahoma City, OK

Please enjoy Preemie Prints' families inspirational story & photos. Consider supporting our mission to share hope with families who have a baby born prematurely or critically ill. We thank our supporters, Preemie Prints volunteers, and donors for allowing us to continue touching the lives of NICU, preemie, and angel families.

We pray these special memories from Preemie Prints 
will help families heal and remember how strong 
they were in overcoming their NICU journey together.

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM

"I was diagnosed with chorioamniotic separation at 18 weeks pregnant as well as cervical incompetence. I bled from 5 weeks until 24 weeks. The doctors never thought we'd make it to viability at 24 weeks. On June 30th at exactly 27weeks my water broke. I kept calm and we headed to the hospital. The amazing doctors were able to keep our guy inside me for an additional 3 weeks. I delivered a screaming 3 lbs 6oz baby boy at exactly 30 weeks."

 A note from Deanna:

I had a wonderful time volunteering for my first Preemie Prints shoot!  I loved watching the Choate family bond and how their baby boy, Chaos, responded to his parents.  What a special moment and I appreciate them letting me be a part of it!
