Parker's Preemie Prints NICU Grad Photo Shoot

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

"Parker Don born 7/29/14 at 33 weeks. Upon arrival he was 5lbs. 2oz. and 17.25 in. long! He surprised us with his early entrance but has been a fighter from the start and has overcome the challenges he was facing with being a preemie!

Last year when participating in the Little Monsters 5K I never thought I would be the parent to a child in the NICU; however, life always throws us surprises! Parker was stubborn and decided to make his arrival early to join us! I will always say he was jealous of the kisses his daddy was getting because my water broke as I was giving my husband a kiss goodbye when he was leaving for work.

Parker spent a week and a half in NICU and I cannot express how amazing the staff was at the College Station Medical Center NICU. I was blessed to be able to have a boarding room while Parker was a patient to allow me to breastfeed and pump to supply him with the best nutrients possible. I could not have asked for a better delivery, hospital stay, or new parent experience despite our surprise visit and stay in NICU."
