  The holidays are again upon us. The staff of "The Early Edition" wish all the best of the season.

Are you a *sexy dad*?  It is not what your are thinking...  The topics this issue brings up the issue of how dad's dealt with the preemie experience.  How did you cope, and how did you support?
And when did your preemie finally crawl?  See the milestones of other preemie kids... maybe you will find that your child is not so far behind afterall!

Allison take a moment and reviews several books on some of the things that preemies may face as they grow older.  Take a look, maybe you can find something that sounds all too familiar.

Mara presents the speech she gave at the Alexis Foundation's Conference.   Read part two of "Grieving and Coping After The Premature Birth of Your Baby".

Deb shares her wishes of the holiday season.
