YOUR NICU JOURNEY BEGINS...

The Peekaboo ICU Journey Beads collection was created as a way to acknowledge the journey and the emotional aspect of parenting a preemie. It is a way to commemorate the baby’s time spent in the NICU, recognize the emotions, remember the milestones, and reflect on the trials and triumphs that make their story their very own.

The Caterpillar bead is your NICU Admission bead and the first bead in your collection. The caterpillar spends most of its existence struggling to survive. Restrained by its very slow and steady movement, it cannot travel very far. Its sole purpose is to nourish itself to grow and transform.

These changes may not be easy to see on the surface, but after a long hard journey, the caterpillar is transformed. Starting out as a tiny fragile speck of an egg, the once itty-bitty little worm will emerge from the cocoon as a strong and beautiful butterfly.
