Nathaniel'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 baby's name is Nathaniel he was born 12/29/15 at 32wks 6days weighing 4lbs 3.7oz

This is my second preemie. My first came at 34wks. So far my little Nate doesn't have any major issues and seems to be adapting well. Hopefully his stay in the NICU won't be a long one. The nurses have all been very nice and are taking good care of him. The hardest part is not having him 24/7. I want to be woke up all night because he needs stuff and I don't have that but as long as he needs the help I would rather him be there.”

A Note From Angela:

“I have known Jessica since she was 7 years old. I watched her grow into a teenager when I lost contact with her mom. It's crazy to see how much she has grown and I am amazed to see her as a mother now. Jessica and Tim are amazing parents. It is pretty evident that they love this little guy unconditionally. Nate has done so well since he was born, gaining weight like a champ and coming off the oxygen so quickly. The session went really well and Nate was very cooperative. I am very happy with how this session turned out.”
