Some preemies are stronger than others, some need around-the-clock care, but all are constantly fighting for their lives in their first homes at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The emotions endured by parents of a premature baby, overwhelming stress and utter fear mixed with pure, unwavering hope, are what brings us together and creates a comforting bond. It's the small things that mean so much, like the blessed feeling of holding their little finger, changing a diaper, taking a temperature, or simply watching them breathe. The Littlest Peanut was created to journal these special moments and keep track of exciting milestones during this hazy time. All this so that one day your littlest peanut can reflect on all the challenges and obstacles they overcame.

Why We Love This Gift: We find sometimes that when people are not sure how to approach a topic, they tend to avoid it. While this is intended as a kind gesture, too often it inadvertently strands people. Books like this enable those touched by a preemie or a micro-preemie to facilitate dialogue.

What To Express in Your Card: I am here for you. I want to understand what you are going through.
