A Heartfelt Thanks to all of You! #Preemie #NICU
Many of you have asked how our fundraiser/benefit concert for Mount Sinai Hospital's Perinatal Parents Association went last weekend. We want to give a BIG thank you to everyone who came out and supported our cause and to those who supported us from afar. It truly means a lot to us to be able to "give back" to Mount Sinai after having a preemie in the NICU. We are so thankful to be able to contribute to something so important and near and dear to our hearts. Making sure we can help other parents with babies in the NICU is so very important to us...especially during the Holiday season.

A very special thank you goes out to:
- Great local band, Rural Roots (for providing amazing musical entertainment for the evening)

We are very excited to present Mount Sinai's Perinatal Parents Association with the $1,435 cheque! What a great way to help other NICU parents and raise awareness for November's Preemie Awareness Month too!

City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!
