Relative Normalcy

We are walking in the March of Dimes, March for Babies!

We are on a journey to help preemies like our tiny little Sterling. 

I have been sending out e-mails to get the word out and am now placing them here on our blog. PLEASE feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested in helping or participating in this fun day! We are so excited and can't wait to share our success with all of you!

It is hard to believe that our sweet Sterling Maye is already 4 months old! She is THRIVING; beautiful big blue eyes, fat, happy, a smile that will melt you, and MOST importantly she is HEALTHY (the set of lungs this girl has now are strong- trust me :)

As you all know, this precious little one made quite the dramatic entrance into our world, and unlike her mother (who is chronically late to everything) made her debut 4 weeks early. A preemie. Weighing in at 6 pounds 6 ounces and 18 inches long. She blew holes in both lungs and was transported to Cooks Childrens Hospital in Fort Worth for a 2 week stay in the NICU. There is no question that Sterling made it through because of the excellent care that she received from the doctors, nurses, support staff, and volunteers at Cooks. The reason that Cooks is so well prepared and up on the latest care for preemies, like Sterling, is in part, because of organizations like the March of Dimes.

The March of Dimes is America's favorite walking event! When you walk, you give hope to the families of babies born too soon or sick. The money you raise supports programs in you community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies. They have been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.

There is also absoultley NO DOUBT that we wouldn't have made it through those first few weeks of her life, if it hadn't been for the love, support, and prayers that you so unselfishly lavished on our family. We are humbly asking for that support again. We are forming a team to walk in honor of Sterling and the joy that she is bringing to our lives. You can participate by showing up to walk and /or by donating money in Sterling's name. It is our goal to raise $1000 for the March of Dimes. We would be thrilled and honored if you would stand by us again for this celebration of her life. You could also forward this to those you work with, go to church with, any school organizations- it is a great community service project! This is an awesome thing to do with your entire family-The more the merrier!
