The March of Dimes

So tonight I was online looking up ideas for shirts for a fundraiser/walk my family and I are doing in honor of Olivia benefitting The March of Dimes. While on google, each shirt linked back to different blogs for women who have lost their children due to being born premature or different issues with their organs.

Reading these blogs made me think of a post I had read from one of my favorite blogs while she was pregnant. She had read things about pregnant women and had spent her night sobbing and her hubby told her to stop looking things up online.

I never read these sorts of things while pregnant, I never thought that I would have a baby early, sick or with a disability. Now that we have almost lost, it makes me SO scared to even think about trying to get pregnant again. I had always wanted a boy and a girl. (actually 2 boys and 1 girl) but now knowing what we have been through, I don't know if I could do it again especially if the outcome wasn't the same.

I know how lucky we are. Lucky to have such a healthy baby. A baby that beat the odds. Olivia was born with a 10% chance to survive. Now she is THRIVING! I can't imagine life with out her.
