Welcome to my hand-made preemie doll site!

My name is Kim

& I am a preemie mom.

I have a heart for families who have had preemies & for those families who have felt the pain of losing a baby, since we have been through both.

  Our oldest son Caleb was born at 28 weeks gestation. Now he is a normal active boy. Our daughter Alexia was born at 36 weeks gestation. She had complications of amniotic band syndrome & lived for 1 hour & 16 minutes without breathing. Our youngest son was born at 38 weeks gestation. Read our children's birth stories at 'about us'.

These dolls can not replace a child, but they can bring comfort & remembrance of the child.

  When we would tell someone that our son was born at 28 weeks, was 2# 6 oz. & 13 1/2" long they couldn't fathom how small he was & really understand all he has gone through. That was until my mother-in-law bought a birth size doll from Sandy Eding. As I showed people what he looked like a birth, they realized that he has come a very long way.

   Occasionally I also forget how big our daughter was, until I made a ‘specialty doll’ of her. It shows her malformations without being offensive (or scary) to others, (see her doll in 'doll photos' ).

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

"(3)Praise be to the God and Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of

compassion and the God of all comfort,

(4)who comforts us in all our troubles, so

that we can comfort those in any trouble

with the comfort we ourselves have received

from God. (5)For just as the sufferings of Christ

flow over into our lives, so also through Christ

our comfort overflows. (6)If we are distressed, it

is for your comfort and salvation; if we are

comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces

in you patient endurance of the same sufferings

we suffer. (7)And our hope for you is firm,

because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."

 (from the Holy Bible - New International Version(NIV))
