March of Dimes
This year we are so excited to get involved with the March of Dimes, March for Babies campaign. This is a cause that is very close to the heart of my family.We're getting involved to help improve the health of future babies and to honor the journey of our babies, Reece, Louise and Charlie.
So, what exactly is the March of Dimes??? March of Dimes was founded by F.D.Roosevelt in 1938 to address the Polio epidemic. When that mission was accomplished, they turned there focus to improving the health of babies. Today, the money raised by the March of Dimes funds research and programs that offer preventions and solutions for premature babies and babies with birth defects. They also provide support to NICU families, fund community programs that give expectant mothers the best chance of having a healthy babies, and advocate for newborn screening and health insurance for all pregnant women and children.
Without the March of Dimes, many of the life saving interventions that happened while our babies were in the NICU, would not have been possible. To put it bluntly, the March of Dimes saved my children's lives. To that, I owe a firm and passionate dedication to this cause. Who's with me?
The March for Babies campaign is a yearly fundraising walk. Families, like us, who have been personally touched by the mission of the March of Dimes, come together to raise money and march for a common goal... Healthier, Stronger Babies.
So, come walk with us, help us raise money or just donate 5 dollars. Anything will do. This is truly an amazing thing. From now until the walk, I'm going to do a few posts on prematurity and how it has affected the life of my family. Hopefully, this will help to put a face with the problem and motivate more people to do something.

Happy 2012
Some folks may think of a New Year as just another number. Another notch on the belt. Just one more year older. Wah, Wah, Wah......
If you stop and think about it, A New Year is an amazing thing.
Its amazing for so many reasons. It gives you a chance to reflect. To think that this time last year, I had 3 nursing babies hanging on every limb of my body. I was a sleepless zombie in a constant state of exhaustion. My life was pretty mundane... feed babies, get babies to sleep, sleep until next feeding. NOW, my life is anything but mundane. I have these 3 little people that follow me around all day. They are loud, colorful and always busy. My house is a complete zoo...but its a lot of fun. Wow, what a difference a year can make.
A New Year also gives a fresh new start. There's always things that need improving...and this year is the year to do it. I guess would be New Years resolutions. My resolution is simple, I want to find balance in everyday. I will always be a mother first...but this year my goal is to remember that I am SO much more than that. I am wife, a sister, a friend and a daughter. I also want to take better care of myself. All things I think got put on the back burner in 2011. So here's to 2012!!!!!! A fresh new start to an already amazing journey...
In the "taking better care of myself" part of my resolution, I want to turn my love for photograpghy into a passion. I have teetered with photography in the past, but I became sightly distracted the past few years (wonder why???). There is so much I want to learn! I'm going to push my old, brokedown camera to it limits. This mama needs outlet in 2012
Ben's parents came up Sunday to spend the day with us. Perfect time to practice with my camera.....
