Books & Prematurity

Books & Prematurity

By Nick Hall on May 3, 2019

by Kristina Mulligan In my life, I’ve read a lot of books. I’ve read lots of books because I’m nosy. Honestly. I want to know everything about anything and, as a mother, I want to teach my son everything, too. Which is why I’ve been so frustrated when it comes to the lack of resources […]

The Importance of Speaking Up

The Importance of Speaking Up

By Emily Raymond on January 23, 2015

My 32-week preemie is now a full-fledged toddler, walking about and getting into mischief.

Avoiding Germs and Protecting Your Preemie

By Emily Raymond on September 16, 2014

Encouraging Toddler Preemies to Gain Weight

Encouraging Toddler Preemies to Gain Weight

By Amber Shipman on August 14, 2014

So our little one has been sick this week. As a mom it’s hard watching our little ones be sick especially when they are preemie. This week has been especially difficult because my little one didn’t want to eat anything. Today when we got to see the pediatrician my little one had dropped 2.5 lbs. […]

The Terrible Twos…Yep, They are Real!

The Terrible Twos…Yep, They are Real!

By Amber Shipman on July 10, 2014

Okay. So I’m not sure if this is a preemie thing or just a toddler thing but I feel like my son has all of a sudden hit the terrible twos – early. I feel like they are worse than anyone ever warns you about, too! The tantrums, throwing objects across the living room, the […]
