Thats great to have your child featured! Save hundreds of copies!
Pet peeve. Photos, TV programs etc about preemies and the premature baby
just looks like a minature full term baby. Either they can't or won't show
what a true preemie looks like. Almost all my baby pictures from the NICU
have a tube or a wire in them somewhere, not to mention the lousy haircut.
Actually, not a bad photo in this week's Woman's World - about twins that
did better when in the same isolette.
I don't get American Baby. Stephanie did you feel the story was very true
or were some parts glossed over? 31 weeks is nothing to sneeze at and can
scare any woman reading it in their doctors waiting room.
