Sweet Benjamin's NICU 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

“My Benjamin was born at 29 weeks via emergency c-section after being flown to Medical City in Dallas. He weighed 3 lbs 1 oz and was 16 inches long. It's been the normal NICU roller coaster ride, He's had his ups and downs. He's currently 34 weeks old, weighs 4 lbs and 12 oz and has started bottle feeding, we hope we can go home in a few weeks.”

A Note From Minvi:

Here are some pictures of Kimberly with her son, Benjamin, taken at the Medical City NICU. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet them. Benjamin weighs now at 5lbs. and they are still continuing to monitor his apnea. Kimberly had hoped to have him released the following week after my visit. However, Benjamin had another episode which postponed his release. He is such a sweet little baby and I enjoyed visiting with Kimberly and knowing a little bit more about her family. She is anxious to be reunited with her husband and older son, who's 3 years old and currently in the care of his grandma (Kim's mom) while Kimberly stays in the hospital with Benjamin. Kimberly, who is a budding photographer, hopes to one day be able to "pay it forward" and share her talent with other NICU families."
