Sometimes Moms Need Preemie Power Too

Sometimes Moms Need Preemie Power Too

By Featured Parent on January 7, 2022

Personally, I also feel judged since my birth story did not go as planned.

Expectations

Expectations

By Nick Hall on May 26, 2021

“…if I’ve learned anything over the last two years is that no matter how you become a parent the journey has its unexpected moments, some fun and some scary. Here is a little bit about how we came to celebrate such a wonderful day!”

May 13th

By Nick Hall on May 13, 2021

by Kristina Mulligan May 13th. To me it’s known as “the day that never was.” After a grueling battle with infertility, I finally received the news I was pregnant. We would finally make the leap from two to three. I was ecstatic, my husband was over the moon, and our loved ones were equally full […]

The Design of a Mother

The Design of a Mother

By Nick Hall on March 17, 2021

by Kristina Mulligan Motherhood has shaped me. It sounds cliché, I know, but beyond my wildest understanding, my desire to be a mother has paved my path in life. When I was a kid, as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be “mommy” when I grew up. I always had a pillow […]

The Hope Of a Mother

The Hope Of a Mother

By Nick Hall on March 10, 2021

by Debra Cassell My journey to pregnancy was a long and stressful path. I suffered multiple early miscarriages beginning at age 32.  We went through all the evasive and painful fertility treatments available.   After finally getting pregnant through IVF, I suddenly experienced HELLP Syndrome and was forced to have an emergency C-section at 26 weeks.  He weighed 1 […]

Extraordinary, Not Expendable

Extraordinary, Not Expendable

By Nick Hall on February 3, 2021

by Kristina Mulligan Flynn, you are my extraordinary. A shining star in all ways, even trapped inside four walls. We spend a lot of time at home nowadays. We have lots of fun most of the time, but I know you miss your “people” and our walks around Target. I do, too. There have been […]

Coping with a Pandemic as a NICU Parent

Coping with a Pandemic as a NICU Parent

By Nick Hall on April 9, 2020

By Ali Dunn I “attended” a virtual happy hour the other day. It was nice to see people’s faces and have conversations with friends even if they were mostly about isolation and COVID-19. We were all sharing stories from our days, tales of working from home, schooling from home, and trying to create some semblance […]

No Time for Mom Guilt aka You are Doing Great!

No Time for Mom Guilt aka You are Doing Great!

By Nick Hall on May 9, 2019

by Kristina Mulligan mom•guilt /mahm-gilt/ (noun): the unhappy feelings caused by thinking or feeling like you did something wrong, like missing your child blink, not having time to make teacher gifts, or forgetting that they don’t like scrambled eggs this week.  I’ll never forget the first time that I felt the unwavering, knock-the-air-out-of-my-lungs, stinging pain of mom […]

My Journey: NICU Days

My Journey: NICU Days

By Nick Hall on April 24, 2019

Part 2 in a 3 part series Written by Calista Wilson Our NICU Days After delivering Corbin 10 weeks early I was sent up to my room with no baby.  It wasn’t the delivery I always imagined. There was no magical bond holding my baby in my arms, instead I bonded right away with my […]
