We reached our goal!!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to our March of Dimes walk!! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!!! We have far surpassed our goal for this years walk:) Many of you have been with us thru all our ups and downs of raising preemies. That is why we do this walk. To help other babies, and other families. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! We are touched by everyone's generosity!!

For anyone out there that knows of anyone who has had more than one premature singleton birth, or who has premature births run in their family, please feel free to leave me a comment or email. I am taking part in a research study that is studying the genetic link in familial premature birth (several premature births and across generations). This is some wonderful research that will hopefully uncover more of the missing puzzle for future generations (and hopefully my girls!).

MARCH FOR BABIES fundraising

Hi everyone! We are once again walking in the March for Babies (formerly WalkAmerica) to raise funds for the March of Dimes. Our walk will take place in Minneapolis on April 27th. Todd, I and all 3 kids will be going. We did the walk for the first time last year (5 miles!) and were able to raise $500 for the March of Dimes. This year we have doubled our fund raising goal to $1000. This money is used by the March of Dimes to fund research and programs dealing with prematurity and birth defects, obviously something the means a lot to us. Please consider donating to our walk, even if it is only $1. Our hope is that other babies and families do not have to go through what we have. Here is the link to our March for Babies donation page- please take a moment to visit the page- THANK YOU!
