March for Babies - Only 25 Days Until the Walk!

Thank you to all who have contributed to Team Lopez! While we are getting closer, we still have a long way to go before we reach our goal of raising $1000 to support the March of Dimes.

So once again, I ask you to please consider donating to this very worthy cause. Anything will help. A thoughtful contribution would be:

• $59.00 - to represent the number of days I spent on complete bed rest before the boys were born, or
• $17.00 - to represent the number of days I stayed pregnant after my water broke at 26 weeks, or
• $15.25 - to represent how long the boys were at birth, or
• $21.50 - to represent how much they weighed at birth, or
• $2.00 - because we were lucky enough to have twins, or
• $90.00 - to represent the length of Shawn's NICU stay, or
• $100.00 - to represent the length of Jason's NICU stay, or
• $12.00 - to represent the number of weeks early they were born, or
• $234.00 - to represent the number of weeks they've been a part of our lives!

• But really, anything you can contribute is welcome and GREATLY appreciated! :-)

Looky here! We even got ourselves a team t-shirt for the March for Babies walk! Sticking with our sports team theme...

We've got our Team Lopez shirt front.
The 28 represents the boys' gestation.

The back of the shirt says:

March for Babies--May 19, 2012

Doesn't this shirt make you want to join our team and walk with us?* If you're local, we'd love for you to consider joining our team, 3 for Team Lopez! You can do so on our team page. So far, we have a small, but mighty team of 3, but of course, the more the merrier!

Thank you to all who have contributed thus far, but we are still far away from our goal of raising $1000 to support the March of Dimes!

I just love that quote. "It is not how big you are, it's how big you play." For being such little guys at birth, my boys play big, that is for sure.

Even if you are not able to walk with us next month, you can still purchase a shirt of your very own! If interested, please let me know!
