March for Babies

Today I participated in the March of Dimes Walk for Babies. I didn't walk, but rather the twin mom group ran a station along the route to provide water and treats for those who were walking. Our group participated because many of our members have early deliveries since, of course, multiples puts you at high risk for pre-term labor. Many of our members did walk, including my friend J (mentioned in post above) who had her twins at 29 weeks.

It was also a very timely event. This week I have had two friends deliver their children far before they were supposed to come. C had her baby girl on Tuesday at 27 weeks. She weighed just over a pound and so far seems to be a fighter. She is only on nasal oxygen and while it's still very early in her stay, they haven't faced any big challenges yet. Another friend, S, delivered her triplet boys on Thursday. She was just over 29 weeks along. She did awesome at growing those boys though. All three were well over 3 pounds! They are also doing well thus far. All on CPAP or oxygen and again, no big challenges yet.
