Since I joined the Blogging/Twitter scene in May 2010 (with my blog Better Husbands and Fathers), I have noticed a significant gap - there are so many great resources and blogs for Mother's of premature children, but I have yet to find one written by and for Fathers of Preemies (Let me know if you know of one!). While, obviously the mothers are the most important (having the baby and all), this blog is a reminder that Preemies have fathers too!
My ultimate goal and objective for this blog is to provide Fathers and families of premature children (both in the NICU and beyond) with resources and support. An important part of this will be to build a community of fathers who share stories, answer questions, and support each other.
However, it might take a little while to get there...
My wife is currently on bedrest at 31 weeks with our second son. Our first son was born at 30 weeks, so we are expecting this one early as well. Because of this I am going to be using this blog as a psuedo-journal of experiences and emotions I have as my wife is on bedrest through getting to be to father a new preemie!
