Handsome Liam's Preemie Prints NICU Grad Photo Session

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

“Liam is a handsome, red headed, blue-eyed cutie pie! He was born 10-28-2013 due to placental abruption. He was 29 weeks 6 days gestation. He weighed 3 lbs 3 oz and 16.75 inches.

Liam is the 3rd child and first boy (also first preemie)! I was put on bedrest at 28 weeks due to bleeding, and then was moved to the hospital for round the clock monitoring for the last 6 days. The reason for the abruption is unknown. Having him 10 weeks early was terrifying. He is and has always been my little fighter! Liam spent 9 long weeks in the NICU. It was so hard for me as a mom to be torn between spending time with Liam and my other two children at home. I am FOREVER thankful for the angels (nurses and doctors) that took amazing care of my son.

He is now 9 months old. He is the sweetest, happiest little guy you'll ever meet! He works with an occupational therapist weekly to help strengthen his gross motor skills. His newest trick is sitting up! This has been a very challenging year for our family, but we are forever thankful for our friends and family's prayers.”

A Note From Hilary:

Almost a year ago Liam was born 10 weeks early. This session was extra special knowing how far Liam has come to meet the milestones so many mamas take for granted. This little guy is a charmer with his sweet personality and infectious smile. We had a little too much fun playing peek-a-boo!
