We pray these special memories from Preemie Prints

they were in overcoming their NICU journey together.

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM

  "Our baby's name is Edward John. He was born on July 9, 2014. He came 11 weeks early at 29 weeks. He is currently 37 weeks old and still in the NICU at Pennsylvania Hospital. He was 2lbs 2 oz at his birth and now weighs 5lbs. He is still on supplemental oxygen and is having trouble eating and breathing at the same time but he should be coming home shortly after he masters breathing . The NICU at Pennsylvania Hospital has been an amazing second home to my husband and I for the past 2 months. The staff is so amazing and most are like family to us now. The time has gone quickly and has been an easy ride because of the way we have been treated. We would highly recommend this hospital to other parents."

A Note From Sarah:

This family was such a treat to work with. Baby Edward had just come home from the NICU three days prior to our session, following a two month stay. He's clearly surrounded by such love in his family. Mom and dad were so welcoming  and Baby Edward was giving us such great smiles throughout the session. Big sister Khloe didn't miss a beat with the smiles when it was her turn either. My favorite part of the session was at the very end, when Khloe ran to get her own camera and began directing her own family photo shoot. I think she may have a future as the next generation of Preemie Prints photographers!
