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

“Alice Elizabeth joined our family on May 16th, 2015 6 weeks early. She was 4 pounds 8 ounces. Due to preeclampsia she had to be evicted from her cozy home early. Mommy and daddy spent about a week in the hospital before meeting our princess. Because I was on magnesium during delivery, I was not able to hold or see Alice for 24 hours. It was the longest day of my life.

Our NICU stay was incredible. Even after I was discharged, I felt confident that this was the best place for my beautiful baby. The nurses were fantastic and taught me what to do while I was there so I could come and go as I pleased and take care of my baby on my own. They helped and supported me in my breastfeeding journey and I got to kangaroo everyday she was there.”

A Note From Kate:

“Alice was wide awake and ready to play for her session! No problem - it just meant we got more shots with those big, beautiful eyes!! What a beautiful family.”
