Phantastic Preemie Parents

I have a link section to the right that lists 'Phantastic Preemie Parents'.

I think they're fantastic because they motivate me. They motivate me to be a better mom at the same time they offer me a small bit of solace that I'm not alone in our prematurity journey. Even being a preemie myself it is still very scary to be in the 'parent' shoes and having to navigate these scary waters - these parents act as my compass.


Abby and Sharon are the phantastic moms of Hallie Rose, a 23-week preemie. They have traveled a long road and created their own map as a result. Their love shows as they recount their days with Hallie. Not to forget, of course, she's a cutie - check out her pictures!

Aiden Kristopher's Mom keeps a great blog of her life with her 24-week preemie. If you check out her profile you'll see her other blog. She is post-preemie pregnant with twins! Thats super motivating to me!

Billie and John are phantastic preemie parents of Holland & Eden, their 24 week twin girls. This is one of my most favorite blogs to read. Billie (who does most of the posts) is a fantastic writer and very truthful about how hard it is raising girls with cerebral palsy. THe pictures of their girls are wonderful and give me a lot of hope and great ideas.

Emily is a phantastic preemie mom of Noah, her 24 week son. Emily writes about the trials and tribulations of raising a deaf/blind child with other 'preemie issues'.

Jennifer has a great 'healing blog'. She lost of triplets, born at 24 weeks, last year and is going through the IVF process again - she has amazing strength and I wish her the best!

Jessica is a phantastic preemie mom of 3 preemies! Not only that but she is also going to school for neonatal nursing! This is one determined woman! Check out her blog as she writes about raising 3 preemies, aged 5 to 11 months.

Kara and Ben are phantastic preemie parents to Truman, born at 23 weeks! I've been following tiny trumans story for months now and I'm so glad to see how far he has come. Talk about a cute kid too - his latest tummy timy pictures make my soul smile!

Kathryn is a phantastic preemie mom to Ellie, born at 27 weeks. I learn so much from her blog! Although, hopefully Arianna won't develop the same exact problems as Ellie I have learned alot about disability and the challenges the disabled and their families face. I hope that Kathryn write her book and helps open even more eyes to these issues!

Kellie is a phantastic preemie mom to two preemie boys: Carson, 30 weeks and Elias, 25 weeks. This was one of the first blogs I read and have kept up with them. From feeding tubes to learning disabilities to nursing school - this mom has been through it all and done great!

Lisa is a phantastic preemie mom to two preemies: Margaret, 27 weeks and William, 28 weeks.
I've had the pleasure of personally exchanging emails with Lisa and she has offered me untold support in the past, I can only hope that some day I can return the favor. Her blog recounts her days with her preemies and her fears/hopes for their future.

Liz is a phantastic preemie mom to Kaitlyn her 26 week preemie. You can read her blog and follow in her prematurity path and all the fears/joys and everyting in between that join in!

Stacy is a phantastic preemie mom to Tyler, born at 35 weeks and Paige, born at 25 weeks. She has, what I consider to be, the most important prematurity blog out there. She has addressed issue that no one has before and given a sounding board to many of the preemie parents who didn't fit into the 'cute preemie, all caught up by 3' crowd. Her blog has opened my eyes in so many ways and I feel eternally grateful.


I'll be adding more in the coming weeks! Let me know if you should be added too!
