March for Babies.

This last weekend I helped out at the March of Dimes Walk America March of Babies. Not sure when the name changed….but really it makes more sense. I worked for the March of Dimes when I first moved to Madison. We had a fabulous office…it was really the best working environment ever. After we all left there was a new regime that took over. No fun to help…no fun to work with. Well I just found out that one of my old volunteers is now the director. Which is great because now we all want to come back to help.

I arrived at 6am on the Capital Square. I was SO excited…I was going to bring my bike along and go for a ride after I was done helping. But, go figure, I could not get my tire off at 530am and I was too tired to deal with it. That ride will have to happen another time.

The walk went great. It was very nicely organized and had great weather. It was so heartwarming to hear the stories of the babies born too soon and that have survived. It was also difficult to hear the stories of the babies that did not make it.

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant right now. It is nice to know there are groups like the March of Dimes out there to make sure that every baby is born healthy. I am just trying to get myself a little healthier before we get pregnant.
