March of Dimes Walk!

Hi everyone!!! I know it's been a little bit since I blogged. I have been so busy. With twins, you really don't get any chances to stop and take a minute. I'm not complaining. I love my little buggaboos.  I feel awful because I haven't written since Patrick's surgery. How rude. Well, He is doing great, thank you very much.  I have so much to share about his recovery too. I have to make you hold on a minute though. I have something important to talk about.

Craig and I have started a team, and will be walking for the March Of Dimes walk on May 4th. Of course, we will be walking for our little boys, Brady and Patrick.  Why am I telling you this? Well,  we would love your support. We are going to try to raise money for the cause. The money goes to research to help babies affected by prematurity. It also helps educate mothers about the importance of staying healthy during their pregnancy.  We are so excited to do this because we know first hand all about the medical issues that premature babies can have.  For 5 months, we watched our little boys go through ups and downs that I would never wish on any parent.  We watched babies grow, and we watched parents sigh with relief. We also watched babies suffer, parents cry, and saw babies that became angels. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to have amazing medical care, and a NICU staff that was beyond awesome that helped our little boys overcome horrific problems. Those nurses have become our good friends, and our family.  We will be joining them on the walk.  They all benefit from the research that the March of Dimes have passed on through the years. We support them and the NICU families that we are still in touch with. We are family, and will continue to support each other through the years.

Please, if you have a moment, take a look at our team page. If you are local, come out for a walk! If you can't, you can always donate to the cause. The money goes to the foundation, and they do amazing things with it.

Here is the info.
