It's a rollercoaster.


Having a preterm baby is a number of things. It is a suprise. It is a Plan B. But it is also an emotional rollercoaster that both a mother and father are caught on. Prematurity is an epidemic within our nation, and it is not slowing down anytime soon. The mothers and fathers that have been caught on the ride sometimes make it off with a healthy baby, and other times do not have the opportunity to hold the newest addition to their family for weeks and months. Every individual has been affected or knows someone touched by the threat of permaturity. So, this area is a safe zone and it can be your escape if you need it. However, it is also an area for celebration. Each child should be celebrated for the beautiful being that they are or could have been. This is the space for you to share your experiences and look to others for support and guidance whether your rollercoaster ride has ended or is just beginning.

Wow! The headliner image alone says plenty. Those are powerful pictures and work excellent with your content. It made me want to read what went with them.

I really like the layout, it is so relevant to the content of the blog. It's also a compelling subject and a good place for mothers to connect w/others who have something in common with them. Even people who were preterm babies when they were born can come here to share!
