National Prematurity Awareness Day

As the mom of two preemies, one micro preemie and one late term preemie, I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't been very proactive in putting out the word about ways to help fight prematurity. Those who have followed our story from the beginning are well aware of the struggles we've faced with Justin's early arrival. And although we've been very fortunate and Justin is doing remarkably well for a 24 weeker, we're still dealing with issues from his prematurity.

That being said, today is prematurity awareness day, a day to remember, honor and celebrate special babies. So please give what you can so that the March of Dimes can continue the research and programs that may one day prevent premature birth.
