Little Michael's 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

“Michael was born on October 8 at just 29 weeks. He was nice and snug in there, but he came out to save his mommy. I unexpectedly needed heart valve replacement surgery. Doctors tried to clip the valve temporarily to prolong pregnancy but the procedure was unsuccessful. Michael was born the next day and then valve surgery the day after. He was born 2 lbs 12 oz. he has been a fighter ever since and left the NICU at 6 weeks.

We felt that Michael was in the best place he could be! It broke our hearts to leave him each night, but knew he was in the best care.”

A Note From Sarah:

“It was such a pleasure to meet this adorable little boy. For a guy who started out so tiny, he's positively chunky now - in the best possible way! He and his mother have been through so much together since his birth. Meeting his family was an honor, they were so welcoming and full of love. I am certain he'll continue to thrive at home in such a positive environment!”
