I feel like I haven’t blogged in a long time, but it’s just been over a week. Yikes! Sorry for the lull… things got a little hectic over here, but are slowing back down to a more normal pace. I wanted to let you all know about a great website/resource for parents of preemie babies. It’s a Preemie Thing is a website that was started by a mom when her son was in the NICU after he was born prematurely. She wanted to find a place for support, resources and to basically know that she wasn’t alone. It has grown by leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time. Last year, I was so excited to be a part of her first “For the Loves of Preemies” giveaway which was hosted on Valentine’s Day. Since preemie parents have thousands upon thousands ofdollars in medical bills, they often can’t afford such luxuries as simple photo sessions. This giveaway was a little way to give something special to these parents who have gone through the many obstacles that come with having a premature baby.
When I went into pre-term labor at 28 weeks with my son, I was terrified. Thankfully I was able to make it all the way full term with the help of bed rest, careful doctor supervision and medication. There are many women who don’t have the same result that I did and their babies fight for their lives from day one. Being able to help families in the smallest way makes my heart so happy!
So, what does this mean for you? Well, if you had a preemie baby – and they don’t have to be a baby anymore – you can enter the giveaway that is going until the end of February! There are SO many prizes, including a session with me! Head on over & check out all of the amazing vendors who have graciously donated their time, talent & products to help brighten up these parents’ days!
