March for Babies

Izzy & I participated in the March for Babies last weekend with several friends we've made through her daycare. Her teachers Angel & Jessica organized it and one of her playmates, Joy, and her Mom Cathy walked as well. Joy was born premature at 29 weeks, so this was a cause close to their hearts - and it felt good to be there supporting them and all the other families who've dealt with prematurity issues.

Thank you to so many of our family & friends who supported our efforts - I was able to raise $500 due to all of your support! Thank you, thank you!!

That's great! My brother and his family do this in Massachusetts, since my nephew was the same, 29 weeks, 3lbs 5oz. He has selective mutism, and not sure if it's a result of the early birth or what. But he's been getting alot better as he is heading to kindergarten next year!
