We all have a story... (March for Babies)

My story: Lillie Marie Henry born 1-20-08, 36 weeks gestation, 2 pounds 15 ounces 16 inches, small for gestational age due to undiagnosed preeclampsia.
Phoebe Belle Henry born 38 weeks gestation. Healthy pregnancy and short stay in special care nursery because of amniotic fluid in lungs. On CPAP for 3 days. 6 lbs 15 ounces 19 1/2 in long!

So it is our favorite time of the year...
March for Babies!!!!

This year I planned on hosting what would of been our annual (but now will become semi-annual) chili cookoff. Of course with the new baby I have realized that this is just not going to happen. I can barely handle cooking dinner lately.

But, I have come up with a new idea. And it involves you. Yes, YOU!

So here it goes...

During my pregnancy with Phoebe I have come to realize that everyone has a story. And.. They are all different but all equally important.

I have spoke to many friends that have had babies born too early because of

PROM, HELLP, Preeclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension, preterm labor...

and on and on and on...

No matter what the story we all have one thing in common, our little miracles.

So here is what I am asking..

JOIN OUR TEAM!

Maybe you don't even have kids...

Maybe you share my story or a family member's story.

Maybe you know the importance of March of Dimes and healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

So if you want to be a member (one of our peeps) send me an email.

SHENRY9976@gmail.com and I will tell you how to join (here's the link if you want to figure it out on your own.)

I am looking for at least 10 friends to commit to raising $100 each by May 1st.

Are you in?

Please let me know soon so we can get together and talk. I would like to plan a little get together for team members next week.

Feel free to share your story here in the comments or post it on the team page.

Our goal is to raise $1000 by May 1st!

Here's some info about March for Babies and the March of Dimes.

This could be a great way to reunite with old and keep up with new ones.

Hope to hear from you soon.
