Preemie book recommendations?

I am looking for a preemie book that covers time in the NICU as well as once you take the baby home what to expect in terms of development, milestones, etc. Anyone have any suggestions or read anything you really liked? Thanks for your help!

    Here is a review of several preemie books for you. The Dr Sears book is the only one that I read that includes "after the NICU" and was my favorite in general. Honestly, I relied on our doctors/therapists and other preemie moms for information most of

    I read the Preemie Primer, as well as a book about preemies by Dr. Sears.  They're not perfect, but they do give some good basic information and advice about some things.

    I really liked the Preemie book by Dana Linden.  About $10 at Amazon.
