Preemie Mom Tracy Talks Feeding Difficulties in Preemies

Preemie Mom Tracy Talks Feeding Difficulties in Preemies

By Tracy P on April 23, 2018

Tracy is our parent mentor who specializes in helping parents of preemies coping with feeding difficulties. If you need someone to talk to about your preemie’s feeding challenges, you can connect with her here. “What screws us up most in life is the picture in our heads of how it is supposed to be.” – […]

Parenting a Preemie Baby and Beyond

Parenting a Preemie Baby and Beyond

By Nick Hall on September 7, 2017

While the number of micropreemies born each year as a percentage of total births is relatively small, each year over 50,000 micro-preemies are born in the United States. Even more preemies are born yearly, and these slightly older, slightly bigger preemies may face an equally difficult struggle. Being the parent of a preemie is a […]

Last week we shared the first part of an interview with Eleanor R., a now adult preemie who was born at only 24 weeks gestation. In Part I of our two-part interview, she talks openly about about the circumstances surrounding her birth, her early life, and her family’s time in the NICU. Below is the […]

Interview With a Micro-Preemie: A 24-Week Newborn, Now All Grown Up, Shares Her Early Life

By Graham's Foundation on July 17, 2017

We’re always thrilled to be able to share stories of preemies who are thriving but more often than not, the stories we share come from parents. Today we want to share a different kind of story – one shared by a preemie in her own words. We spoke with Eleanor R., who was born at […]

Why I'm Observing Parents of Preemies Day Today

Why I’m Observing Parents of Preemies Day Today

By Laura Martin on May 7, 2017

Having the “title” of preemie parent was one that never entered my mind. Sure, I had thought about other parent “titles” that I might have – soccer mom, dance mom, chorus mom, PTA mom, volunteer mom, working mom, stay at home mom. My husband and I found ourselves abruptly thrown into the world of prematurity […]

NICU nurses who make a difference

NICU nurses who make a difference

By Laura Martin on January 21, 2017

I gave birth to our twin boys unexpectedly at 24 weeks gestation. From the time I had my first sign of labor until they were born was a mere seven hours. I remember the moments right after they were born – I was laying on the operating table trying to wrap my brain around what […]

Memories

Memories

By Laura Martin on December 25, 2016

Memories. This time of year is filled with memories. Memories of holiday celebrations as a child. Memories as a teenager. Memories of my husband’s and my first years as a married couple before children. Memories of our children and their first holidays.  This time of year has always been my favorite season. There is a […]

World Prematurity Day

World Prematurity Day

By Laura Martin on November 17, 2016

Before having children, I had no idea World Prematurity Day existed. I didn’t know anyone who had been impacted by prematurity. I thought someone had to do something “wrong” in order for prematurity to happen. It was something I thought happened to other people. Our family was impacted by prematurity when I gave birth to […]

I am that mom

I am that mom

By Laura Martin on October 15, 2016

I am that mom. I am the mom that people assume happens to someone they don’t know. I am that mom that people are often uncomfortable to talk to. I am the mom that others assume they will never be. I am that mom that always wonders how you answer the “how many children do […]

Celebrating NICU nurses

By Laura Martin on September 15, 2016

Today is National Neonatal Nurses Day – a day we celebrate NICU nurses and all they do. NICU nurses are heroes. They are more than a nurse. They are a confidant, friend, mentor, extended family member, advisor. They laugh with us and they cry with us. They celebrate victories – no matter how large or […]
