I am a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters, Penelope and Sydney. I was inspired to write this book after both my daughters ended up in the NICU. The playful title of the book was created by my sister, and I loved the idea of sharing our NICU journey in such a clever way. Writing Welcome to the NIC-Zoo has fulfilled me in a way I didn’t know I needed. I have enjoyed every part of bringing this book to life. It gave me a creative outlet to express the roller coaster of emotions that comes with having your baby in the NICU. Connecting with many other NICU families and hearing their NICU stories validated my own feelings of trauma and helped me to heal. My hope is for this book to bring that same comfort to as many NICU families as possible!
