March of Dimes March for Babies

March of Dimes March for Babies

Hey ladies, I know I post here sporadically, so I hope this doesn't come off badly. 

As you may remember, my son Owen was due 11/11/11, but was born nearly 7 weeks early on 9/28/11.  He spent 3 weeks in the NICU before we were able to bring him home.  He is doing great now, but the 5 days I was in preterm labor, and the 3 weeks Owen was in the NICU were some of the scariest of my life. 

Because of that, I am walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies in 2 weeks.  I know money is tight for a lot of us, but if you can spare even a dollar or 2 to donate to the March of Dimes in honor of Owen and other premature babies who were not as lucky, I would appreciate it.  Here is the link to our team page where you can make a donation. 

I hope everyone is doing well.

  • Good for you! I keep meaning to get involved with their walks. I am glad he is doing well now. NICU times are so scary!
  • My IL's and family are big on MOD from when my niece was in the ICU. It's a great program and I'm happy to support you guys! Have fun at the walk!
