November is Premature Awareness Month. The Dr's say that Sadie was premature. They say that she was born at 36 wks 4 days. I personally don't think that she was. I think I had her at 39 wks. But whatever! She was IUGR (inner uterine growth restricted), so she was small and had similar issues to what a preemie would have and obviously she has birth defects. The March of Dimes not only supports research for prematurity and birth defects, and promotes healthy babies, but they are a major support for families while they are experiencing the nightmare of the NICU and they support different programs in the community. Since they are so invested in helping us to have healthy babies the least we can do is return the favor and donate money to the cause. You never know when this could become a personal issue to you or someone you love. You can donate year round any amount or they have a big walkathon every year where you can create teams and raise money that way. Their website will help you learn how to promote your team and other useful things to help you on that journey. I have a link on my home page or you can go to www.marchforbabies.org for more information.
