my poor neglected blog...

So I have less time to blog than I thought! Who would have thunk it?

I'm going to try to blog more and post more frequent pictures, but I can't promise anything!

BUT I'm really here writing to remind everyone that the March of Dimes walk is this Sunday in Bel Air. Team HPB is the biggest family team in the walk! We have done such a great job and it's not too late to do even better! :) Go to TEAM HPB's WEBSITE to make your last minute donations. It's easy to do and it goes to an amazing organization for a great cause.

Thanks to all of you who have already donated! We are almost at $6000!!!

Let me know if you have any questions or problems making your donations! You can always send me an email.

Lots of love,
Meghan

3 Weeks

Today Sam is 3 weeks old! He is fantastic and huge (relatively speaking). We go to the pediatrician next week and I'm eager to find out how much he actually weighs.

In the last 3 weeks he has done more for me than I have for him I think. I feel like a completely different person. I think I was meant to be his mother. I think I have always been a little incomplete. But not in the cheesy Jerry McGuire kind of way. In a very real way that something was missing but I didn't realize it until he came into my life. I have no cares in the world now. No worries. Nothing but bliss.

It took my several tries to take this picture myself, but I'm glad I have one of us finally. I can't get enough of him!

Our March

You might remember we are walking to raise money in Henry's honor for the March for Babies on April 18. I want to remind everyone that you can still donate to our team, or join our team and walk with us.

Everyone has been so generous and supportive already! I got word from the Harford County March of Dimes office that TEAM HPB was the top team for the walk!  We have raised almost $4000! I don't even remember now what our initial goal was, I think somewhere around $1500. Thanks to everyone's support I've raised it to $4200! I think we can easily do that and it's amazing.

If you haven't had a chance yet to donate, please go to our team page and do it. Know you are helping an amazing cause and honoring a beautiful little boy.

Thanks again for the incredible support!

What a Difference a Year Makes

Well one year later.

We survived. They say the first year is the toughest. I knew we were strong, but there is always the feeling in the back of the gut that says "I dont know if we can do this." We silenced that feeling.

I know I wouldn't change a thing now. I look at Sam and know that if Henry had been born alive, we wouldn't have Sam. He is a blessing. They both are. It's weird to think that I have 2 sons. It's hard enough for me to actually comprehend that I have one child and am a parent, never the less 2.

Life does funny things to test us. I think I passed the last one with flying colors, and I know there will be many more pop quizzes in my future. But hopefully not till next semester.
