Words of Encouragement
"There is no doubt that this season of your life in the NICU is filled with an overwhelming mix of grief, fear, loneliness and guilt. But you don't have to carry it alone. God sees you, He sees every worry, every silent fear - He cares more deeply than you know and He wants to carry it all for you. Give it all to Him and He will bring you Peace, Hope and Joy. Look for His presence in the small triumphs, the compassion of the NICU nurses and the unexpected moments along the way. God's got you!"
-Nicole - Proud Mom of a 23 week Miracle
"Spend as much time as you can with your baby, not only with your baby but also supporting your spouse! It's not going to be an easy journey and it takes a toll on you as a couple so supporting one another is HUGE!"
-Ben - Two time proud Dad of 29 week and 34 week Miracles
"Always be gentle with yourself during your journey. The NICU changes you in many ways and it's so important to take each moment as it comes and celebrate ALL the victories. You are the strength and love your baby needs and remember you don't have to walk this journey alone."
-Amy - Proud Mom of 32 week twins
"Don't get stuck" in the hard moments. Instead, continually look forward to the next goal or milestone and really imagine it happening. Even further, imagine their personality as they grow, how their first (or tenth!) birthday will go, or favorite places you can't wait to share with them."
-Kristina - Two time proud Mom of 29 week and 34 week Miracles
"Have faith in the doctors and nurses because they are some of the best!! But also don't be afraid to speak up for your child."
-Ben - Two time proud Dad of 29 week and 34 week Miracles
