March For Babies is FAST approaching!

Sunday is the day and I'm looking forward to it. I've been donating since 2002 after Ayden's birth. I hadn't done a walk and really didn't know if I ever would. During the summer of 2007, I learned that an old friend of mine and his wife were expecting twin girls. The day I went into labor, I was talking to Robin (my ex's mom) over IM has I had done everyday leading up to my birthing day. She was acting a bit weird so I knew something was going on and told me there was something going on with Aunt Ruth and she'd tell me later and that they had somewhere they had to be that day and sent me tons of love and well wishes.

Once Dylan was born and we got settled, I got on IM and she told me that Kevin and Renae went to the hospital the week before and found out 1 of the babies had passed so they had to do a c-section. Kiersten was still born and Brooklyn was doing okay. There due date wasn't until December - it was only September. They buried Kiersten the day Dylan was born. That gave the family some peace knowing I was bring a new life into the world when they had to say goodbye. All that day I just looked at my full term + 3 day baby and thanked my lucky stars he was healthy...although it was bitter sweet because I should have given birth to 2 babies. Jesse's say "no, if you should have, the baby would have developed..." but that's another topic.

Brooklyn passed away the Wednesday following Keirsten's service. She got an infection from her vent and her little lungs couldn't fight it. :(

So these little girls are why I'm walking this year, rather than just donating. Please keep them and their parents in your thoughts.
