    Here we go!

    February 28, 2018 /

    Thank you for visiting The NICU Dad. I started this blog because like you I am a NICU Dad, and as I searched or looked around, I could not find anything out there for us NICU Dads. We are going to change that! I want The NICU Dad to be a place where NICU Dads can come to read and share stories, get information, or just come and see that you are not alone! There are others who are riding that same NICU roller coaster ride as you. I hope you enjoy The NICU Dad, and please help spread the word!
