Lost and Not Quite Found

Paul came home on Thursday. He is going to be switching to the opposite shift on his barge so fortunately he is home for 4 weeks this time. He'll actually be home for Memorial Day, so we're uber excited.

Saturday we walked for the March of Dimes, March for Babies - Austin. I raised the EXACT AMOUNT OF MY GOAL!!  $500.00!! It was such a pleasure to be able to help ensure that one day all babies are born healthy. We walked the 3.2 miles marching up to the capital of Texas with friends, family and neighbors. Thousands of people (including dogs, strollers, and little nuggets in wagons) joined and it was amazing to see how many people were fired up about the organization...........................

................. But, there was ONE little downfall. I managed to lose my brand new blackberry before the race even started. I was SO upset. The stupid thing was so new that we hadn't even gotten the partial rebate in the mail yet. Ugh, such a pain in the you-know-what to lose a phone. Luckily ( I wouldn't really call it luck), I had my old blackberry that I had just switched from and was able to maintain most of my contacts. Oh well, it could always be worse!

Lastly, I went to take my HSG test today. They are testing to see if there are any "major" problems with the trying to conceive journey. I haven't gotten the results back as of now so let's hope I dont have an anxiety attack before they call me tomorrow.

Sponsor Jolie for March of Dimes!!!

This year I am not doing the triathlon, but I have decided to walk for Team Haller in the March of Dimes for Austin on May 8th, 2010. A dear friend of mine Barbara Haller is the ambassador this year and has personally been affected by Premature Birth when they lost a twin Jack. Babs and her husband Joe were fortunate enough to be blessed with a darling angel Kate, but they realize that not everyone is so lucky. 

Sponsoring Jolie helps March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care. 

With Paul and I trying for a miracle of our own, I know first hand how important having a healthy pregnancy and healthy full term baby can be. Five minutes and $5 is not too much to ask when helping save a life. Please donate today, or sign up to walk with us!!
