Conner'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

"Conner was born on 9-10-14. He was 21.5 inches long and 10 pounds 6 ounces. His entrance into the world was pretty traumatic. He had shoulder dystocia.

I had Conner on Wednesday and we were not discharged until Sunday evening. It was a very scary situation to not be able to hold our little boy after giving birth to him. His right arm still does not move but we are doing physical therapy for his arm and have received good news from the Cardiologist for the two holes he has in his heart. We are taking it a day at a time; enjoying our precious little angel.”

A Note From Mellissa:

“Connor is an absolute cutie pie.  It was a nice sunny day, but it was WINDY, so it made it sort of cool out. We met up at the George Bush Presidential Library, which is an amazing place to take photographs. There is the grassy areas, statues, buildings, and a beautiful garden and pond area with Texas A&M not far in the background. Although we were faced with a few complications, I think we came out with some great shots. It was great meeting Mr. Connor, his mommy Danielle, and his aunt. I hope they had just as much fun and enjoy the photos.”
