March dimes #4

So on April 30th we walked for our fourth year in a row for our little miracle Paisley Goo.

 I continue to think often how blessed we are for modern medicine and the knowledge the doctors had to help me with the many complications I had during my pregnancy with Paisley.  She may have been born almost 7 weeks early but she was healthy and with the help of the NICU she came home and has been healthy (for the most part minus the migraine problems) ever since and is almost 4!  Prayer was another huge part during this time of my life.  Praying for peace, for comfort, for protection, for health, for guidance...all of which were answered!  I know me and Paisley were being watched over and through my faith and answered prayers I knew everything would end up ok!  

This little girl is supposed to be here and the things she and I have been through over the past 4 years, I couldn't have gotten through without her!  All the things I learn from her daily (unconditional love, curiosity, patience, caring, forgiveness, living in the moment).  I love this little miracle and I enjoy every day I have with her and very thankful and grateful for everything she is and has done for me!  I hope she always knows the special place she has in her mommy's heart!

Anyway, back to the March of Dimes Walk 2016.  We went to the one in Provo again and it was even smaller than last year due to change in who was in charge...I am hoping to start volunteering for this organization as it has a special place in my heart for all they did for me and continue to do to help other babies and families around the world.  The stories of the little ones who have lived or passed on...breaks my heart...so many different stories miracle or not.  I have made friends along the way and hope to continue in the years to come as well join together for one organization.  

This year the girls got their faces painted, played on the play ground, walked the two laps, ate pizza and chick fillet, played a few games, and did the dance competition.  We won the trophy again for the second year in a row for the parent/child dance together done by Nate both years in a row and we got another free CD with the fun kid songs remix!
