March of Dimes

one day... all babies will be born healthy

today... too many moms and families know the heartbreak of having a baby born fighting to survive

Most of you know that Brandon and Brianna were born 5 weeks premature. Brianna required oxygen for about 10 minutes after birth and Brandon required a feeding tube. Both had to be hooked up to monitors to indicate when they were having episodes of apnea. Both were in the hospital for 19 days. Since they have been home Brandon has been sick off and on with Croup, Viral infections, Bronchitis, and hospitalized with Pneumonia. Brianna has been the healthier one however, she has got viral infecitons also.

I've have decided to walk in honor of my two wonderful blue eye darlings that have made my life complete.


I've joined March for Babies because the March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will help:

- support all-important research offering preventions and solutions for babies born too soon or with birth defects
- educate women on things they can do to increase their chances of having a healthy baby
- provide comfort and information to families with a newborn in intensive care
- push for newborn screening and health insurance for all pregnant women and children
