I had the great pleasure of speaking with 2x NICU Graduate Mama and Author Sarah. 

Through lots of laughs and aww moments, Sarah had a way of verbally illustrating the NICU experience. She reminded even me of some of the tough moments in the stages of the NICU experience. 

She even shares how her NICU Dad husband, found a way to cope and navigate the NICU journey in his own special way. 

Sarah shares her NICU journey with her Twin girls and return to the NICU with her Son. Though two completely different experiences, no one ever wants to journey through the NICU more than once. 

Sarah spoke of the incredible support she received from March of Dimes and Beads of Hope. Both foundation offered unique heartfelt support to her and husband during the NICU. 

Take a listen to how Sarah and her Family birthed Little Ward Books from their 2x NICU journey! 

In this episode, I had a great conversation with the Founder of Supreemie Baby, Nico Shanel. We laughed and were blown away by our NICU Stories. 

Nico shares how her unexpected pregnancy led her to the NICU for her First Son's premature birth. She shares her experience with her NICU Team. She also shares the wonderful support she received from The March of Dimes during their 6 month NICU Journey. 

She noticed the emotional effects the NICU had on her by the Trauma responses she was experiencing. She sought therapy to support her healing and regain her mental wellness. Nico shares how the post NICU trauma responses were heightened due to the pandemic. Having to feed her son via feeding tube, find supplies to sterilize were scarce. The COVID pandemic caused immense stress trying to maintain daily functions such as cleaning her son's g-tube.
