Summary: Excellent Reading for Relatives
Review: I am the new aunt of a 25-week preemie. In the hospitals NICU library, I found this book by chance, and I couldn't put it down. This collection of short vignettes gave me a peek into the mind of a parent of a preemie, into all the hopes and fears and trials and joys my sister and brother-and-law might experience. And right from the beginning, when my sister tearfully begged me not to do anything to hurt her baby, and a week later, when the strain and exhaustion in her voice were becoming obvious... I felt like I had some point of reference, having read Barsuhn's excellent work.

Summary: A must read for all preemie parents
Review: I felt as if the book was taken from my own journal. I cried as I read while kangerrooing my preemie. I plan to puchase a copy to donate to our NICU. A great book !!!!!

Summary: I cannot recommend this book enough.
Review: If you are a parent of a preemie, you must read this book. It touches your heart, fills you with the memories -- joy, fear, confusion, elation -- of the experiences that parents of preemies have. An easy read, well worth the low price!

Summary: WOW.....was that us this book is about!
Review: My wife was given this book by the Social Worker in our NICU...I just read the first paragraph and couldn't put it down...each description, physical and emotional is exactly what my wife and I are going through...I am going to order another copy and give it to our "premie" daughter when she is old enough to fathom what me, my wife, and her went through. This book is a MUST for all parents enduring this rollercoaster of a ride....

Summary: Preemie Parents: Give this book to family members
Review: While my baby was in the NICU I thought this book would be specifics about a baby I didn't know...Wrong! A wonderful story that perfectly touches on the things ALL preemie parents go through. A quick read and a must read for those intimately involved with a premature child.

Summary: A story for all parents of preemies.
Review: With over 45 vignettes such as Reality, Lungs, Affection, Patience, Guilt, Hope, Exhaustion, Dreams, Bad Advice, Pain, Privacy, Breastfeeding, Machines, and Apnea, you just know that this is one of the best books a premature baby's parents could read. Growing Sophia: The Story of a Premature Birth is told in the words of Rochelle Barsuhn who chronicles the birth at 24 weeks of her daughter, Sophia, as well as the emotional highs and lows faced by she and her husband, Scott. But this is much more than just one more personal tale. It will validate the feelings of every parent of a preemie, expose all of their anxieties, and let them know that everything they are going through is "normal." In addition to the story, there are a dozen pages of coping suggestions, a glossary with more than 60 terms, a bibliography and list of resources. (154 pages
