Our team is Team Kennedy Anne - naturally, as she is the reason we have wanted to do this! Having a premature baby has opened our eyes to the many challenges premature babies face everyday.
Our story is posted to the right under pages - The Story of Kennedy's Arrival - it is a bit of a mess because it was typed out in an e-mail to family and friends after her arrival and I have yet to edit it (which I should get to doing).
We have been lucky in that Kennedy did not have any major health issues in the nicu (she was considered mostly a feeder/grower), and to date has remained healthy, and is growing strong! We can only hope that this continues, however we are aware of the fact that as a preemie there could be issues. Just cross your fingers that she remains healthy and strong.
Please visit our team page,( March for Babies - Team Kennedy Anne ) we would love to have our family and friends there to support us in this walk, however if you cannot be there, any sponsorship of our walk and support of the March of Dimes goal would be greatly appreciated!!
Here is a short picture trip of our time in the nicu....
