As some of you know, we are participating in the March of Dimes March for Babies fundraising event this year. We feel we were so lucky to have the care and information that was available to us when Nora was born. The March of Dimes supports so much research that helped Nora (and me) in the hospital last year. Well, this weekend they are hosting a Family Fun Day at the Butterfly House in St. Louis. We are so excited to get out and meet other parents of preemies and enjoy the Butterfly House.
The March for Babies is an event that is so important to me. I hope someday to have the time to offer more to this wonderful organization. There are no words to describe how difficult Nora's first few months were because of her prematurity. If the research they do can prevent one family from going through that, it is worth it to me. Nora will have forever lasting effects due to her prematurity, but because of the constant research in preemie care done by the March of Dimes and other organizations, those effects are far less than they could have been.
